அப்போது பிராமணர்களில் சிறந்த உதத்தியன் கோபத்துடன் பூமியிடம் கூறினான்—“பத்ரே! ஆறாயிரம் மின்னல்களின் ஒளி பரவி நிற்கும் அந்த இடத்தை எனக்குக் காட்டுவாய்.”

The verse highlights that moral-spiritual authority (especially of a rishi/brāhmaṇa) is portrayed as capable of commanding even cosmic elements, and that anger, when rooted in a demand for truth or justice, is treated as a potent force—yet implicitly one that should serve dharma rather than ego.
Utathya becomes angry and directly addresses the Earth as a living power, ordering her to reveal a specific location distinguished by an extraordinary, lightning-like radiance described as ‘six thousand’ flashes.
