तथैव दानवो घोरो धर्मारण्यसमीपगः । भ्रमते दहते चैव दूरादेव भयान्वितः
tathaiva dānavo ghoro dharmāraṇyasamīpagaḥ | bhramate dahate caiva dūrādeva bhayānvitaḥ
同じく、その恐るべきダーナヴァ(dānava)はダルマアラニヤ(Dharmāraṇya)の近くに来て、さまよい歩き、火を放った――遠くからでも恐怖を広げた。
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator; speaker not explicit in this snippet)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Scene: A terrifying dānava circles the outskirts of Dharmāraṇya; flames rise from huts/trees; animals and people flee; smoke columns visible from afar.
When adharma approaches a tīrtha, it seeks to generate fear and disruption, highlighting the need to protect sacred life.
Dharmāraṇya is directly named as the holy forest whose sanctity is contrasted with demonic violence.
None; the verse depicts the menace that interrupts ritual continuity.
