कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
अनिर्देश्योग्रवपुषो देवस्पासहुतेजस: । तब असुरोंका संहार करते हुए अवर्णनीय भयंकर रूपवाले असहा तेजस्वी महादेवजीके सामने वह तीनों पुरोंका समुदाय सहसा प्रकट हो गया
anirdeśyogravapuṣo devaspāsahutejasaḥ | tataḥ asurāṇāṃ saṃhāraṃ kurvataḥ avarṇanīya-bhayaṅkara-rūpavataḥ asahā-tejasvinaḥ mahādevasya sammukhe tat trīṇāṃ purāṇāṃ samūhaḥ sahasā prādurabhavat |
Bhīṣma berkata: Ketika Mahādeva—berwujud garang yang tak terungkapkan, tidak tertahan, dan menyala dengan kemilau ketuhanan—sedang membinasakan para Asura, maka himpunan tiga kota itu tiba-tiba menampakkan diri di hadapannya. Adegan ini menegaskan bahawa kuasa ilahi yang mengatasi segala-galanya bangkit untuk mengekang daya pemusnah apabila ia mengancam tertib kosmos.

When destructive forces (Asuras) threaten order, divine power manifests in an overwhelming form to restore balance; the episode frames destruction not as cruelty but as protection of dharma and the world’s stability.
Bhīṣma describes Mahādeva actively destroying the Asuras; at that moment the combined presence of the three cities (Tripura) suddenly appears before Śiva, setting the stage for their confrontation and downfall.
