अत्र कृत्वा तपो घोरं कृष्णेनामिततेजसा । प्राप्तं सुदर्शनं चक्रं सर्वदैत्यान्तकारकम्
atra kṛtvā tapo ghoraṃ kṛṣṇenāmitatejasā | prāptaṃ sudarśanaṃ cakraṃ sarvadaityāntakārakam
Dito, matapos magsagawa ng mabagsik na pag-aayuno at pagninilay, si Kṛṣṇa na may di-masukat na kaningningan ay nagkamit ng Sudarśana Cakra, ang tagapaglipol ng lahat ng asura.
Īśvara (Śiva) (continuation of the same discourse)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Kṛṣṇa, radiant and austere, performs ghora tapas at a sacred spot; the Sudarśana cakra manifests as a blazing, spinning disc of light, symbolizing the end of daitya terror.
Even the greatest divine powers are portrayed as fruits of tapas, highlighting austerity as a purifier and empowerer.
The ‘here’ refers to the Ratneśvara/Ratnakuṇḍa locale within Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
No direct prescription; the verse narrates a precedent: Kṛṣṇa performed ghora-tapas at this site.
