निष्पन्दनयना मर्त्याश्चित्रेष्वालिखिता इव । देवायतनगा देवा रटन्ति प्रहसन्ति च । स्वप्ने पश्यन्ति चात्मानं रक्ताम्बरविभूषितम्
niṣpandanayanā martyāścitreṣvālikhitā iva | devāyatanagā devā raṭanti prahasanti ca | svapne paśyanti cātmānaṃ raktāmbaravibhūṣitam
ମର୍ତ୍ୟମାନେ ପଲକ ନ ଝପକାଇ ଚିତ୍ରରେ ଆଲିଖିତ ଆକୃତିମାନଙ୍କ ପରି ନିଷ୍ପନ୍ଦ ହୋଇ ରହିଲେ। ଦେବାଳୟସ୍ଥ ଦେବମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଚିତ୍କାର କରି ଅଦ୍ଭୁତ ଭାବେ ହସିଲେ; ଏବଂ ସ୍ୱପ୍ନରେ ଲୋକେ ନିଜକୁ ରକ୍ତବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ବସ୍ତ୍ରରେ ବିଭୂଷିତ ଦେଖିଲେ।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) speaking to the sages (deduced)
Listener: Bharata-uttama
Scene: People stand motionless, unblinking like painted figures; within temples, the gods seem to cry out and laugh; sleepers dream themselves clothed in red garments.
Omens manifest across waking life and dreams, urging vigilance and remembrance of the divine when time turns intense.
No specific tīrtha is named; the verse references temples in general (devāyatana) as part of the omen-description.
None; these are descriptive portents rather than instructions.
