पल्लीपतिरभूदुग्रः पिंगाक्ष इति विश्रुतः । निर्विंध्यायास्तटे शूरः क्रूरकर्मपराङ्मुखः
pallīpatirabhūdugraḥ piṃgākṣa iti viśrutaḥ | nirviṃdhyāyāstaṭe śūraḥ krūrakarmaparāṅmukhaḥ
نِروِندھیا کے کنارے ایک سخت گیر جنگلی بستی کا سردار تھا، جو پِنگاکش کے نام سے مشہور تھا؛ وہ بہادر تھا اور ظالمانہ اعمال سے منہ موڑ چکا تھا۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Nirvindhyā-taṭa (riverbank)
Type: ghat
Scene: A rugged forest-settlement (pallī) near a river; Piṅgākṣa, strong and alert with distinctive tawny/‘pingala’ eyes, stands armed yet composed, turning his face away from a scene of cruelty—signaling inner change.
Even the powerful and fearsome can incline toward dharma by rejecting cruelty—setting the stage for spiritual transformation.
Not directly a tīrtha; it introduces a character and geography that will connect to the Kāśī-centered sacred narrative.
None; this verse is narrative setup, describing a person and place.
