त्रोटिता लुंचिताश्चैव मृताः केचिद्रणाजिरे
troṭitā luṃcitāścaiva mṛtāḥ kecidraṇājire
اس میدانِ کارزار جیسی زمین پر کچھ کے اعضا ٹوٹ گئے، کچھ چاک و پارہ ہو گئے، اور کچھ وہیں جان سے گئے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating
Listener: Ṛṣis (Naimiṣāraṇya frame, typical Purāṇic setting)
Scene: A devastated sacrificial ground resembling a battlefield: broken bodies, torn limbs, fallen warriors and priests, scattered ritual vessels and overturned altars under a darkened sky.
When sacred duty is corrupted by ego, the ‘yajña’ turns into a battlefield—adharma yields suffering.
Not directly named; the Kedārakhaṇḍa setting provides the broader sacred-geography frame.
None; it is a stark narrative statement of the destruction’s severity.
