समुद्रस्तु ततो भीतो वेपमानः कृतांजलिः । अनन्यशरणो विप्राः पाता लात्स्वयमुत्थितः
samudrastu tato bhīto vepamānaḥ kṛtāṃjaliḥ | ananyaśaraṇo viprāḥ pātā lātsvayamutthitaḥ
అప్పుడు సముద్రుడు భయంతో వణుకుతూ, కృతాంజలిగా—ఓ విప్రులారా—ఇతర ఆశ్రయం లేక, పాతాళం నుండి తానే లేచి వచ్చెను।
Narrator (Purāṇic voice)
Tirtha: Setu-kṣetra / Setubandha (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Brāhmaṇas (viprāḥ)
Scene: The Ocean-god rises from the depths, trembling, palms joined, facing Rāma’s camp on the shore; waves part like curtains; attendants of Varuṇa hover amid sea-spray.
Śaraṇāgati—when pride ends, surrender to dharma-bearing divinity becomes the true refuge.
Setu and the oceanic tīrtha-field central to Rāmeśvaram-related Setukhaṇḍa traditions.
None explicitly; the verse models the inner ritual of humility and surrender.
