कीदृक्कालं महाभाग क्षपिष्यामोऽथ सुव्रत । अनावृष्टिहतं सर्वं सीदते सचराचरम्
kīdṛkkālaṃ mahābhāga kṣapiṣyāmo'tha suvrata | anāvṛṣṭihataṃ sarvaṃ sīdate sacarācaram
“हे महाभाग, हे सुव्रत, आम्हाला कोणता काळ भोगावा लागेल? अनावृष्टीने पीडित सर्व—चराचरसह—नाशाकडे झुकत आहे।”
The gathered sages (ṛṣis)
Calamity is shared by all life; dharma calls for timely, wise action that preserves beings and supports sacred order.
Not named in the verse; the narrative context builds toward Revā/Narmadā as the sustaining sacred landscape.
None directly; the verse describes anāvṛṣṭi as the cause of suffering.
