Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 39
तदाव्रजच्चक्रमथो विलोक्य सर्वात्मना दैत्यवराः स्ववीर्यात् । नाशक्नुन्वारयितुं प्रचंडं दैवं यथा पूर्वमिवोपपन्नम्
tadāvrajaccakramatho vilokya sarvātmanā daityavarāḥ svavīryāt | nāśaknunvārayituṃ pracaṃḍaṃ daivaṃ yathā pūrvamivopapannam
Apabila cakra itu meluru datang, para Daitya terunggul, bersandar sepenuhnya pada keberanian sendiri, hanya memandang; namun mereka tidak mampu menahan kedahsyatan kuasa takdir, sebagaimana sebelumnya.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: The Sudarśana rushes forward like fate itself; daitya champions stare, braced by pride, yet their defenses fail as inevitability closes in.
FAQs
