В конце юги Он предавался игре: Его образ был залит краснотой, подобной сумеречным облакам, красным лотосам, рубинам, синдуре и вспышкам молнии. И явленным лингам и Своим оком Он играл, раскрывая мощь.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating (deduced)
Tirtha: Śiva-liṅga (as cosmic axis) within Avantī/Revā narrative
Type: kshetra
Scene: At yugānta, Śiva ‘sports’ in a storm of crimson: twilight clouds, red lotus, ruby, vermilion, and lightning; his manifested liṅga stands as a blazing axis while his eye (third eye/sun-eye) projects power—creation and dissolution intertwined.
Even dissolution is depicted as the Lord’s līlā (divine play), suggesting surrender to cosmic order and reverence for Śiva’s mystery.
No particular site is named in this verse; the focus is Śiva’s yugānta manifestation.
None explicit.
