अपश्यंस्तारको विष्णुं पुनर्वृषभवा हनम् । आधावत्कुपितो दैत्यो मुष्टिमुद्यम्य वेगतः
apaśyaṃstārako viṣṇuṃ punarvṛṣabhavā hanam | ādhāvatkupito daityo muṣṭimudyamya vegataḥ
وِشنو کو نہ دیکھ کر تارک دیو پھر بَرشبھ دھوج مہادیو (شیو) پر لپکا؛ غضب میں بھرا ہوا وہ مُکّا اٹھائے تیزی سے جھپٹا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Tāraka, failing to spot Viṣṇu, pivots in fury and rushes straight at Śiva (bull-bannered), fist lifted, speed emphasized; gods and hosts recoil as the charge begins.
When delusion blinds discernment, anger turns one toward greater ruin; dharma urges self-control even amid conflict.
No specific sacred site is mentioned in this verse.
