तस्मिन्निपतिते भूमौ मथने मथिते भृशम् । अवसादं युयुर्दैत्याः सर्वे ते युद्धमण्डले
tasminnipatite bhūmau mathane mathite bhṛśam | avasādaṃ yuyurdaityāḥ sarve te yuddhamaṇḍale
جب مَتھن زمین پر گر پڑا اور سختی سے کچلا گیا، تو میدانِ جنگ میں وہ سب دَیتیَہ مایوسی اور افسردگی میں ڈوب گئے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: A battlefield where the fallen figure ‘Mathana’ lies crushed on the earth; daitya ranks recoil, banners droop, faces pale with despair, dust and broken weapons scattered.
When adharma loses its champions, its confidence collapses—inner strength follows righteousness, not mere pride.
No site is praised in this verse; it continues the battle account.
None.
