एष मे प्राणदो वीर एष शत्रुनिषूदनः । अथाप्यज्ञातवंशोऽयं मयानंतपराक्रमः
eṣa me prāṇado vīra eṣa śatruniṣūdanaḥ | athāpyajñātavaṃśo'yaṃ mayānaṃtaparākramaḥ
‘இந்த வீரன் எனக்கு உயிர்தந்தவன்; இவன் பகைவரை அழிப்பவன். ஆயினும் இவனுடைய குலம் அறியப்படாதது—நான் கண்டபடி இவனுடைய வீரியம் எல்லையற்றது.’
Vajrabāhu (contextual; speaking about Bhadrāyuṣa)
Scene: Vajrabāhu speaks with intensity, pointing toward the hero; behind, faint vignettes of battle and rescue (life-saving act) are suggested; a shadow of mystery around the hero’s unknown lineage.
True worth is shown by virtue and protection of others; gratitude and recognition of merit transcend mere birth-identity.
None; the verse is a personal testimony of gratitude and inquiry into lineage.
None; it is praise and a lead-in to a genealogical inquiry.
