ततः ससंभ्रमाः सर्वे ग्रामवृद्धाः सभाजनाः । मुहूर्त्तं मौनमालंब्य भीतास्तस्थुरधोमुखाः
tataḥ sasaṃbhramāḥ sarve grāmavṛddhāḥ sabhājanāḥ | muhūrttaṃ maunamālaṃbya bhītāstasthuradhomukhāḥ
त्यानंतर गोंधळलेले सर्व गावकरी आणि सभासद, क्षणभर मौन धारण करून, भयभीत होऊन खाली मान घालून उभे राहिले.
Narrator (contextual)
Scene: Village elders and assembly members, startled and ashamed, fall into a tense silence; heads bowed, hands lowered, bodies rigid with fear.
Awe and humility arise when people recognize they were about to commit adharma; silence signals a pause for conscience and correction.
No tīrtha is mentioned.
None; the verse describes a reaction of fear and silence.
