Dia yang anak panah-Nya ialah Śrīpati (Viṣṇu), kusir-Nya ialah Penguasa alam (Brahmā), kereta-Nya ialah seluruh bumi, dan kuda-kudanya ialah Veda—dengan lepasan panah itu kota-kota Tripura terbakar; siapakah yang setara dengan-Nya?
Satyavatī’s son (Vyāsa) in stotra to Śiva (deduced)
Scene: Śiva’s cosmic chariot: Earth as the chariot, Brahmā as charioteer, Vedas as steeds, Viṣṇu as the arrow; the single discharge burns the three cities of Tripura.
Śiva is portrayed as supreme, with all cosmic powers (Viṣṇu, Brahmā, Vedas, Earth) serving his divine purpose.
Kāśī through the hymn to Viśvanātha; the verse itself references Tripuradahana as a proof of Śiva’s supremacy.
None; it is doctrinal praise using iconic mythic imagery.
