पश्यन्ति यानमारूढं रासभैश्च नृपोत्तम । संवर्तको महावायुर्युगान्तप्रतिमो महान्
paśyanti yānamārūḍhaṃ rāsabhaiśca nṛpottama | saṃvartako mahāvāyuryugāntapratimo mahān
اے بہترین بادشاہ! انہوں نے اپنے آپ کو گدھوں سے جتی سواری پر سوار دیکھا؛ اور پھر عظیم ‘سمورتک’ ہوا اٹھی، جو یُگ کے اختتام کی آندھی کی مانند نہایت ہیبت ناک تھی۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) speaking to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) tīrthas (contextual)
Type: river
Listener: A king addressed as ‘nṛpottama’ (best of kings)
Scene: A royal party suddenly perceives itself on a humble cart drawn by asses as a colossal saṃvartaka wind rises, bending trees and darkening the sky—an inversion of status amid cosmic dread.
Cosmic events mirror inner and outer instability; remembering dharma amid ‘yugānta-like’ upheaval is the Purāṇic counsel.
No specific tīrtha is named; the verse continues the omen-sequence around Tripura-saṃhāra.
None.
