मार्कण्डेय उवाच । पुनर्युगान्ते सम्प्राप्ते तृतीये नृपसत्तम । दादशार्कवपुर्भूत्वा भगवान्नीललोहितः
mārkaṇḍeya uvāca | punaryugānte samprāpte tṛtīye nṛpasattama | dādaśārkavapurbhūtvā bhagavānnīlalohitaḥ
مارکنڈیہ نے کہا: اے بہترین بادشاہ، جب تیسرا یوگانت پھر آ پہنچا تو بھگوان نیللُوہت نے بارہ سورجوں کی مانند دہکتا ہوا روپ دھار لیا۔
Mārkaṇḍeya
Listener: King (nṛpasattama)
Scene: Mārkaṇḍeya narrates to a king: at the third yugānta, Nīlalohita appears as a blazing form like twelve suns, filling the cosmos with unbearable radiance.
At cosmic endings, Rudra’s blazing manifestation represents the purifying power that dissolves worlds and renews dharma’s cycle.
No single locality is named in this verse; it shifts the Revā Khaṇḍa narrative into a cosmological frame connected to Śiva’s manifestations.
None; the verse introduces a cosmological event and a specific Rudra-form (Nīlalohita).
