malayānila niḥśvāsāṃ kṣīrodakavarāṃbarām | trikūṭasvarṇaratnāṃgīṃ suvelādri nitaṃbinīma
ମଲୟ ପବନର ନିଶ୍ୱାସ ସମ ସୁଗନ୍ଧିତା ଧାରି, କ୍ଷୀରସମ ଶ୍ୱେତ ଜଳ ପରି ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ବସ୍ତ୍ରରେ ଆବୃତ; ତ୍ରିକୂଟର ସୁବର୍ଣ୍ଣ-ରତ୍ନରେ ଅଲଙ୍କୃତ ଅଙ୍ଗବତୀ, ସୁବେଳ ପର୍ବତ ସମ ନିତମ୍ବିନୀ—ଏମିତି ତାହାକୁ କବିମାନେ ଭାବନ୍ତି।
Skanda (deduced from Kāśīkhaṇḍa default dialogue-frame, verse-context narration)
Listener: Śaunaka and ṛṣis (typical frame; not explicit in given excerpt)
Scene: A divine feminine form embodying the southern land: cool Malaya breeze as her breath, milk-white watery garments, limbs glittering with Trikūṭa gold and jewels, hips rising like the Suvela mountain; attendants or sages behold her as a visionary map of sacred geography.
Purity, fragrance, and splendour are presented as signs of an auspicious cosmic rhythm, aligning the mind toward devotion.
Kāśī remains the textual frame; the verse draws on pan-Indian sacred geography (Malaya, Trikūṭa, Suvela) to heighten the praise.
None; it is a descriptive alaṅkāra that supports the devotional atmosphere of the chapter.
