“اس کے سارے ہتھیار ختم ہو چکے؛ اور اب پرندر—شَتَکرتُو، بلند ارادے والا—آج مجھے صرف جھاگ سے مارنا چاہتا ہے!”

Type: kshetra
Scene: A speaker (asura/foe) remarks in disbelief: Indra’s weapons are spent, yet he intends to kill with foam; the scene captures incredulity, Indra’s steadfast gaze, and the uncanny whiteness of foam against dark battle tones.
