शीर्यते गिरिशृङ्गाणि पतंत्युल्का दिवापि च । त्यजंति सागराः सर्वे मर्यादां च शनैः शनैः
śīryate giriśṛṅgāṇi pataṃtyulkā divāpi ca | tyajaṃti sāgarāḥ sarve maryādāṃ ca śanaiḥ śanaiḥ
پہاڑوں کی چوٹیاں ریزہ ریزہ ہونے لگیں؛ دن کے وقت بھی شہابِ ثاقب گرنے لگے۔ سب سمندر آہستہ آہستہ اپنی حدیں چھوڑنے لگے۔

No site is specified in this verse; it intensifies the Māhātmya’s cosmic stakes before the place is established as salvific.
None; it is a catalogue of portents (utpāta).
