ākalpamevaṃ yoddhavyamasmākaṃ tṛptihetave | kecidūcurayaṃ daityo devoyamatimāṃsalaḥ
“ہماری تسکین کے لیے اسی طرح بےوقفہ جنگ کرنا چاہیے۔” کچھ نے کہا، “یہ دَیتیہ ہے؛ یہ دیو ہے—اور یہ تو نہایت فربہ ہے۔”
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa context)
Scene: Warriors and spectators shout: ‘Fight without pause!’ while others point and argue—‘this is daitya, this is deva’—and one figure is singled out as ‘exceedingly fleshy’, suggesting a grotesque, powerful combatant.
It shows how desire and appetite can distort judgment—reducing beings to categories and bodies—whereas dharma calls for discernment and higher purpose.
No tirtha is mentioned.
None.
