ततः शक्रः समापेदे स्वराज्यं दानवैर्हृतम् । यदासीत्पूर्वकाले तत्समग्रं हतकण्टकम्
tataḥ śakraḥ samāpede svarājyaṃ dānavairhṛtam | yadāsītpūrvakāle tatsamagraṃ hatakaṇṭakam
அப்போது தானவர்கள் பறித்திருந்த தன் அரசாட்சியை சக்ரன் மீட்டான்; அது முன்னாளைப் போல முழுமையாகவும் தடையெனும் முள்ளுகள் அற்றதுமாக இருந்தது.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator within Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya)
Tirtha: Vṛṣanātha-kṣetra (implied causal backdrop)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śakra seated again on his throne in Amarāvatī, the court reassembled, weapons laid down; the atmosphere is cleansed, as if thorns have been removed from the realm.
When dharma is protected, rightful order and stability return, removing the ‘thorns’ of suffering and obstruction.
The verse is part of the lead-up to the Vṛṣanātha-liṅga/kṣetra māhātmya in Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya.
No ritual instruction appears here; it narrates the result of divine restoration.
