पादेनाकृष्य देवेंद्रं सिंहः क्षुद्रमृगं यथा । मातुरंतिकमागच्छद्याचमानं भयातुरम्
pādenākṛṣya deveṃdraṃ siṃhaḥ kṣudramṛgaṃ yathā | māturaṃtikamāgacchadyācamānaṃ bhayāturam
Hinila niya sa paa ang panginoon ng mga diyos na parang leon na humihila ng munting hayop. Lumapit siya sa kanyang ina, habang si Indra, nanginginig sa takot, ay nagmamakaawa ng awa.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating
Scene: Bāhvāyudha drags Indra by the foot like a lion hauling a small animal; Indra’s crown is askew, hands folded in plea; the mother figure stands ahead, a moral center amid the violence.
The Purāṇas often portray the fragility of worldly status—fear and supplication can overtake even the highest when adharma ripens.
