अथ विद्रवमानं तब्लं प्रेक्ष्व समंततः । रुद्राः परस्परं प्रोचुरहंकारोत्थितार्चिषः
atha vidravamānaṃ tablaṃ prekṣva samaṃtataḥ | rudrāḥ parasparaṃ procurahaṃkārotthitārciṣaḥ
अथ समन्ततो विद्रवमानं बलं प्रेक्ष्य, अहंकारोत्थितार्चिषो रुद्राः परस्परं प्रोचुः।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: The battlefield turns: troops flee in all directions; a circle of Rudras, radiant with pride-born fire, confer with sharp gestures—eyes like embers, bodies haloed by flame.
When dharma’s defenders falter, the higher powers of Śiva’s retinue rouse themselves—symbolizing renewed spiritual courage and protection.
