पितामहवरः सोऽत्र जयशीलोऽसि दानव । यदि ते पौरुषं चास्ति तच्छीघ्रं संप्रदर्शय
pitāmahavaraḥ so'tra jayaśīlo'si dānava | yadi te pauruṣaṃ cāsti tacchīghraṃ saṃpradarśaya
«Aqui está o dom do Avô primordial; tu te gabas de vitória, ó Dānava. Se de fato tens vigor varonil, mostra-o sem demora.»
Devī
Tirtha: Arbuda
Type: kshetra
Scene: Devi points to the demon’s boon as if it stands present, then dares him to display real valor immediately; the moment is taut, like a drawn bow before release.
True strength is proven through righteous action, not through boasts or inherited boons.
None directly; the verse is a combat provocation within the Arbuda-khaṇḍa setting.
None.
