तन्नाशकृपया देवो नानास्थानेषु सोऽगमत् । तावत्पस्यति पृष्ठस्तमाकृष्य धनुषः शरम्
tannāśakṛpayā devo nānāsthāneṣu so'gamat | tāvatpasyati pṛṣṭhastamākṛṣya dhanuṣaḥ śaram
त्याचा नाश होऊ नये या करुणेने देव अनेक ठिकाणी गेला; तरीही मागे पाहता तो धनुष्यावरून बाण ओढताना दिसत राहिला।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: The Deva moves from place to place to spare Kāma; yet Kāma remains behind, drawing an arrow—pursuit without physical chase, a moral tension between mercy and necessity.
Divine power is tempered by compassion; even when opposed, Śiva first seeks to spare rather than destroy.
No named tīrtha; the verse uses cosmic movement to stress Śiva’s supremacy and restraint.
None; it is a narrative of pursuit and restraint.
