यत्किञ्चित्त्रिषु लोकेषु सारभूतं प्रपश्यति । गजवाजिरथाश्वादि सर्वं गृह्णाति सोऽसुरः
yatkiñcittriṣu lokeṣu sārabhūtaṃ prapaśyati | gajavājirathāśvādi sarvaṃ gṛhṇāti so'suraḥ
Apa pun di tiga dunia yang ia lihat sebagai yang terbaik dan berharga—gajah, kuda, kereta, dan sebagainya—semuanya dirampas oleh Asura itu.

Unchecked power expresses itself as appropriation; Purāṇic dharma critiques greed and teaches that true ‘sāra’ (essence) is virtue, not possession.
None; the verse describes cosmic oppression rather than a pilgrimage location.
None.
