संदष्टौष्ठमुखैः पृथ्वीं दैत्यानां सोऽभ्यपूरयत् । ततो निःशेषितप्रायां विलोक्य स्वां चमूं तदा
saṃdaṣṭauṣṭhamukhaiḥ pṛthvīṃ daityānāṃ so'bhyapūrayat | tato niḥśeṣitaprāyāṃ vilokya svāṃ camūṃ tadā
ਦੈਤ੍ਯ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਨਾਲ ਹੋਠ ਤੇ ਮੁਖ ਚਬਾਉਂਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਧਰਤੀ ਨੂੰ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਭਰ ਗਏ; ਫਿਰ ਆਪਣੀ ਸੈਨਾ ਨੂੰ ਲਗਭਗ ਨਿਃਸ਼ੇਸ਼ ਹੋਈ ਵੇਖ ਕੇ ਉਸ ਵੇਲੇ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਨਿਹਾਰਿਆ।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: A vast plain crowded with Daityas, their faces contorted, biting lips in rage; dust and banners; the commander pauses, surveying his nearly destroyed forces.
Even in overwhelming opposition and loss, dharmic resolve is tested; awareness of one’s forces precedes decisive response.
