प्रसादयंति बहुधा महाकर्णार्थकोविदाः । केचिद्वदन्ति भो देवा भो दैत्याः प्रार्थयामहे
prasādayaṃti bahudhā mahākarṇārthakovidāḥ | kecidvadanti bho devā bho daityāḥ prārthayāmahe
‘بڑے کانوں’ کے مفہوم کو سمجھنے میں ماہر لوگ اسے طرح طرح سے راضی کرنے لگے۔ کچھ نے کہا، “اے دیوو! اے دیتیو! ہم التجا کرتے ہیں!”
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa context)
Scene: A group of anxious figures—some learned, some frantic—gesture with folded hands toward a fearsome ‘mahākarṇa’ presence off-frame; speech scrolls or expressive mouths show cries: ‘bho devāḥ, bho daityāḥ’.
