क्षुरप्रहारिताः केचिद्दैत्या दानवराक्षसाः । शिलीमुखैर्मारिताश्च भग्नाः केचिच्च दानवाः
kṣuraprahāritāḥ keciddaityā dānavarākṣasāḥ | śilīmukhairmāritāśca bhagnāḥ kecicca dānavāḥ
ചില ദൈത്യ-ദാനവ-രാക്ഷസർ ക്ഷുരപ്രഹാരത്തിൽ പരിക്കേറ്റു; ചിലർ ശിലീമുഖ ബാണങ്ങളാൽ വധിക്കപ്പെട്ടു; ചില ദാനവർ തകർന്നു പിന്മാറി ഓടി।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedāranātha)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Close-up sequences of Daityas, Dānavas, and Rākṣasas struck by kṣurapra (razor-edged missiles) and śilīmukha arrows; some collapse, others flee broken formations; weapons glint like blades in midair.
Adharmic forces—however varied—are ultimately checked when dharma is upheld and strengthened.
The Kedāra region is the broader sacred geography of this section, though this verse is not a direct tīrtha-praise.
None in this verse.
