किं वो ह्यागमनं देवाः सर्वेषां च विवर्णता । केनावमानिताः सर्वे शीघ्रं कथयतामराः
kiṃ vo hyāgamanaṃ devāḥ sarveṣāṃ ca vivarṇatā | kenāvamānitāḥ sarve śīghraṃ kathayatāmarāḥ
“اے دیوتاؤ، تم یہاں کیوں آئے ہو، اور تم سب کے چہرے کیوں زرد پڑ گئے ہیں؟ کس نے تم سب کی بے حرمتی کی ہے؟ اے امرانو، جلد بتاؤ۔”
Brahmā (Pitāmaha)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) tīra (contextual)
Type: ghat
Scene: Pitāmaha leans forward slightly, eyes compassionate yet firm, questioning the devas’ pallor and dishonor; the devas stand subdued, their luster dimmed.
Before remedy comes diagnosis: dharmic leadership first asks clearly about the cause of suffering and dishonor.
No; this is direct dialogue setting up the account of Bāṇāsura’s oppression.
None.
