Adhyaya 62 — The Fire-God Enters the Brahmin Youth; Varuthini’s Love-Sickness and Kali’s Disguise
ततः स दध्यौ सुचिरं तमर्थं कौतुकात् कलिः ।
ज्ञातवांश्च प्रभावेण समाधेः स यथातथम् ॥
tataḥ sa dadhyau suciraṃ tam arthaṃ kautukāt kaliḥ |
jñātavāṃś ca prabhāveṇa samādheḥ sa yathā-tatham ||
Kemudian Kali, kerana rasa ingin tahu, merenungkan hal itu untuk waktu yang lama; dan dengan kekuatan samādhi dia mengetahuinya tepat sebagaimana adanya.

FAQs
Purāṇas often affirm that concentrated mind (samādhi) yields clarity beyond conjecture; disciplined attention is presented as superior to rumor or assumption.
This is yogic/character narration within an episode; it does not map directly onto the five defining Purāṇic topics.
Samādhi here functions as ‘inner seeing’ (antar-darśana): a subtle epistemology where truth is accessed by refined consciousness, anticipating later Purāṇic and yogic syntheses.
