śrīrāgapramukhā rāgāstasya putrā mahaujasaḥ | amūrttāścaiva te putrā haradeva samudbhavāḥ
ശ്രീരാഗപ്രമുഖമായ രാഗങ്ങൾ അവന്റെ മഹാതേജസ്സുള്ള പുത്രന്മാരായിരുന്നു. ആ പുത്രന്മാർ സത്യത്തിൽ അമൂർത്തർ; ഹരദേവനിൽ നിന്നു ഉദ്ഭവിച്ചവർ.
Deductive: Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa narrating to sages
Type: kshetra
Scene: Personified rāgas led by Śrīrāga appear as radiant, mighty ‘sons’—yet with an aura of formlessness, emerging from Hara; the scene blends anthropomorphic figures with abstract sound-waves/halos.
