Translation

Увидев его таким, Каланеми, презрительно смеясь, преисполненный яростного гнева и силы, сказал: «Кто ты, о удачливый, обладающий восхитительным обликом — темнокожий, юный, с мощью разъяренного слона? И почему ты держишь в руке этот острый, сверкающий диск? Скажи мне, о господин».

FAQs

Ego and hostility make one challenge the Divine; outward power cannot recognize the higher protector of dharma.

The Kedāra region is the larger sacred frame (Kedāra Khaṇḍa), though this verse itself centers on the battle dialogue.
