स्वर्णवर्णांचिते यद्वन्नगे दावाग्निसंवृते । आरुह्यजौ निमिर्दैत्यो हरिं प्रत्युद्ययौ बली
svarṇavarṇāṃcite yadvannage dāvāgnisaṃvṛte | āruhyajau nimirdaityo hariṃ pratyudyayau balī
森をまとい金色に輝く山が山火事に囲まれるがごとく、剛勇なるダイティヤ・ニミは(その乗り物に)乗り、ハリに向かって突進した。
Nārada (continuing context from 20.1)
Scene: Daitya Nimi, radiant like a golden mountain wrapped in wildfire, mounts his beast and rushes toward Hari; flames and heat shimmer form a halo-like yet destructive aura around him.
The Purāṇa contrasts blazing, destructive force with the sustaining presence of Hari—reminding that aggression cannot overturn divine protection.
No; this is a combat episode, not a site-glorification verse.
None.
