یہ سن کر گُہا غضبناک ہو گیا، گویا خود کال (موت) بن گیا ہو۔ اس کے غضب سے دہکتے ہوئے ابرو کے کنول کے بیچ سے ایک قوت نمودار ہوئی۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced for Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration)
Scene: Guha hears the devas’ report and flares with kāla-like wrath; from the center of his brow-lotus a radiant entity begins to emerge.
