राक्षसो भीषणवपुः कपालकृतकुंडलः । वसारुधिरलिप्तांगः श्मश्रुलः पिंगलोचनः
rākṣaso bhīṣaṇavapuḥ kapālakṛtakuṃḍalaḥ | vasārudhiraliptāṃgaḥ śmaśrulaḥ piṃgalocanaḥ
Isang rākṣasa na may nakapangingilabot na anyo ang lumitaw—nakasuot ng mga hikaw na gawa sa bungo, ang kanyang mga bahagi ng katawan ay nababalutan ng taba at dugo, may balbas, at may manilaw-nilaw na mga mata.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa context, typically Skanda addressing Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A skull-adorned rākṣasa with tawny eyes, beard, and blood-smeared limbs emerges in a dark cremation-ground-like ambience, threatening travelers in Kāśī.
It sets the stage for the triumph of protection and dharma over terror—fearsome forms test courage and faith.
None is named in this descriptive verse.
