जघान परया शक्त्या वीरभद्रं तदोरसि । वीरभद्रोपि पतितः शक्तिघातेन तस्य वै
jaghāna parayā śaktyā vīrabhadraṃ tadorasi | vīrabhadropi patitaḥ śaktighātena tasya vai
پھر اس نے اپنی برتر شَکتی (نیزہ) سے ویر بھدر کے سینے پر وار کیا؛ اور اسی شَکتی کے صدمے سے ویر بھدر بھی یقیناً گر پڑا۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedārakṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Tāraka drives a blazing spear into Vīrabhadra’s chest; Vīrabhadra staggers and falls, trident slipping, while devas cry out and the battlefield darkens with foreboding.
Power and valor in battle are transient; ultimate victory aligns with dharma, not merely with force.
Kedāra’s sacred landscape forms the chapter’s frame, but this verse is focused on combat, not a tīrtha rite.
None; the verse is narrative.
