हतं देवेंद्रमालोक्य तारको रिपुसूदनः । वज्रघातेन महताऽताडयत्तु पुरंदरम्
hataṃ deveṃdramālokya tārako ripusūdanaḥ | vajraghātena mahatā'tāḍayattu puraṃdaram
देवेंद्र हत झालेला पाहून, रिपुसूदन तारकाने महान वज्राघाताने पुरंदर (इंद्र) यास ताडले।
Lomaśa (continuing narration)
Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedārakṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Tāraka, exultant, stands over the stricken Indra and smashes Purandara again with a massive vajra strike; the sky darkens, lightning forks, and devas recoil.
Misuse of sacred power symbolizes adharma’s distortion; purāṇic narrative stresses that divine weapons serve dharma, not cruelty.
No direct tīrtha praise appears in this line; it remains within Kedāra Khaṇḍa’s narrative frame.
None.
