ततः कालनिमेषार्धं दृष्ट्वैक्यं त्रिपुरस्य च । त्रिपर्वणा त्रिशल्येन ततस्तान्यवसादयत्
tataḥ kālanimeṣārdhaṃ dṛṣṭvaikyaṃ tripurasya ca | triparvaṇā triśalyena tatastānyavasādayat
پھر اُس نے تری پور کے تینوں حصّوں کو آدھی پلک جھپک میں ایک ہوتے دیکھا۔ تب اُس نے تین جوڑوں اور تین کانٹوں والے تیر سے انہیں بیندھ کر تباہی میں ڈال دیا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) speaking to the sages (deduced)
Listener: Bharata-uttama (a Bharata prince/hero addressed in the narration)
Scene: Śiva as Tripurāntaka sights the three aerial cities aligning into one; in a half-blink he releases a single tri-jointed, tri-barbed arrow that collapses the blazing fortress into ruin.
When adharma ‘converges’ into a single hardened force, divine justice can dissolve it in an instant.
Not specified in this verse; the passage is part of the Revā-khaṇḍa’s broader sacred narrative arc.
None; it describes the destruction of Tripura with a symbolic threefold arrow.
