देवा ऊचुः । सुरनाथान्धको नाम दैत्यः शम्भुवरोर्जितः । अजेयः सर्वदेवानां किं नु कार्यमतः परम्
devā ūcuḥ | suranāthāndhako nāma daityaḥ śambhuvarorjitaḥ | ajeyaḥ sarvadevānāṃ kiṃ nu kāryamataḥ param
देव म्हणाले—हे देवेश, अंधक नावाचा दैत्य शंभू (शिव) यांच्या वराने अत्यंत बलवान झाला आहे. तो सर्व देवांना अजेय आहे; आता पुढे काय करावे?
Devas
Scene: A deva spokesman describes Andhaka: a shadowy, formidable asura silhouette appears in the narrative space—eyes blazing—while Indra and the devas react with alarm.
Boons must align with dharma; when power is gained without restraint, wise counsel and divine upāya are required to restore order.
No tīrtha is named; the verse centers on Andhaka’s boon and the devas’ dilemma.
None.
