स्रुतरक्तारुणः प्रांशुः पीडाचलितमानसः । चकंपे मारुतेनेव चोदितः किंशुकद्रुमः
srutaraktāruṇaḥ prāṃśuḥ pīḍācalitamānasaḥ | cakaṃpe māruteneva coditaḥ kiṃśukadrumaḥ
वाहणाऱ्या रक्तामुळे लाल झालेला तो उंच असुर वेदनेने व्याकुळ झाला. वाऱ्याने हलवलेल्या पळसाच्या झाडाप्रमाणे तो थरथर कापू लागला.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: The demon stands tall yet wavering, body reddened by streaming blood; his posture sways like a kiṃśuka (flame-of-the-forest) tree buffeted by gusts.
Power without dharma is unstable; when struck by rightful force, arrogance shakes like a tree in a storm.
No tīrtha appears in this verse.
None.
