The Greatness of Hari’s Janmāṣṭamī (Jayantī) Vow
क्रंदंतीं तां समालोक्य कोपेन स्फुरिताधरः । उमयासहितः सर्वैर्देववृंदैरनुव्रतः
kraṃdaṃtīṃ tāṃ samālokya kopena sphuritādharaḥ | umayāsahitaḥ sarvairdevavṛṃdairanuvrataḥ
Melihat dia menangis tersedu, bibirnya bergetar kerana murka; bersama Umā dan diiringi seluruh rombongan para dewa, baginda pun mara ke hadapan.
Narrator (contextual; verse is descriptive rather than direct speech)
Concept: Compassion witnessed by the righteous becomes righteous anger; divine powers mobilize to restrain adharma.
Application: Let anger be disciplined and dharmic—channeled into protection of the harmed and correction of injustice, not personal vengeance.

FAQs
The verse names Umā and the following of the deva-hosts, which strongly suggests the figure is Śiva in the broader Brahma-khaṇḍa narrative context, though this specific line does not explicitly name him.
It indicates that the main figure proceeds while being attended and followed by the assembled hosts of gods, emphasizing divine solidarity and the gravity of the situation.
The scene highlights protective responsiveness to suffering—divine beings are portrayed as reacting to distress and moving to intervene, a common Purāṇic motif underscoring dharma and guardianship.
