Akhaṇḍa-Ekādaśī Vrata and the Vaiṣṇava Protective Hymn; Prelude to the Kātyāyanī–Mahiṣāsura Narrative
अशक्नुवद्भिः सहितैश्च देवैः सलोकपालैः सहुताशभास्करैः स्थानानि त्यक्तानि शशीन्द्रभास्करैर्धर्मश्च दूरे प्रतियोजितश्च
aśaknuvadbhiḥ sahitaiśca devaiḥ salokapālaiḥ sahutāśabhāskaraiḥ sthānāni tyaktāni śaśīndrabhāskarairdharmaśca dūre pratiyojitaśca
Девы, не в силах противостоять, вместе с локапалами, и даже с Агни и Солнцем, оставили свои места. Луна, Индра и Солнце также покинули свои обители, а Дхарма была оттеснена далеко прочь.

When adharma gains ascendancy, not only political power but the very ‘stations’ that uphold the cosmos appear destabilized; the verse frames dharma as a living order that can be ‘exiled’ by sustained wrongdoing.
Pratisarga (reconfiguration of cosmic order in times of upheaval) in a narrative mode, describing a temporary inversion that will be corrected by divine action.
The abandonment of posts by luminaries and guardians symbolizes a universe running without its moral governors; ‘Dharma far away’ is the emblem of a world ripe for restoration through the Lord’s descent.
