रत्या समेतः सह माधवेन स पुष्पधन्वा पुरतः सभायाम् । महेंद्रमागम्य उवाच वाक्यं सगर्वितं लोकमनोहरं च
ratyā sametaḥ saha mādhavena sa puṣpadhanvā purataḥ sabhāyām | maheṃdramāgamya uvāca vākyaṃ sagarvitaṃ lokamanoharaṃ ca
رتی کے ساتھ اور مادھو کے ہمراہ وہ پُشپ دھنُو (کام) سبھا کے سامنے آیا۔ مہندر کے پاس جا کر اس نے غرور آمیز مگر دل فریب کلمات کہے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa), deduced from narrative flow
Tirtha: Kedāra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/audience
Scene: Kāma (Puṣpadhanvā) arrives in splendor with Rati, accompanied by Mādhava; he stands before Indra, speaking confidently—his presence suffused with blossoms, fragrance, and courtly allure.
Worldly charm and pride can accompany desire; dharma requires awareness of such forces when pursuing even divine aims.
Kedāra Khaṇḍa is the textual locus; this verse depicts a divine court scene rather than a site’s merits.
None; it is narrative description of Kāma’s arrival and speech.
