सा पपात शिरस्युग्रा सहसा कालनेमिनः । संचूर्णितोत्तमां गस्तु निष्पिष्टमुकुटोसुरः
sā papāta śirasyugrā sahasā kālaneminaḥ | saṃcūrṇitottamāṃ gastu niṣpiṣṭamukuṭosuraḥ
Cette terrible massue tomba soudainement sur la tête de Kālanemi. Le corps noble du démon fut écrasé et sa couronne brisée en morceaux.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: The mace crashes onto Kālanemi’s head; the crown bursts apart, the demon’s body collapses—an instant of overwhelming force and finality.
Pride (symbolized by the crown) collapses when confronted by divine justice; adharma’s pomp cannot endure.
