निर्जीवमिति तं दृष्ट्वा ततः संत्यज्य दानवः । जयं प्राप्योद्धतं नादं मुक्त्वा संत्रास्य देवताः
nirjīvamiti taṃ dṛṣṭvā tataḥ saṃtyajya dānavaḥ | jayaṃ prāpyoddhataṃ nādaṃ muktvā saṃtrāsya devatāḥ
तो निर्जीवसारखा दिसताच दानवाने त्याला सोडून दिले. जय मिळाला असे मानून त्याने उन्मत्त गर्जना केली; देवता भयभीत झाले.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: The dānava steps back from Yama’s motionless body, then throws his head back and roars in triumph; devas flinch and scatter, their faces showing terror.
Pride after apparent success is a classic mark of asuric nature; victory claimed too soon invites reversal.
