हा प्रिये मृगशावाक्षि मम प्राणविनाशिनि । मां मुक्त्वाऽद्य प्रियं कांतं क्व गतासि शुभानने
hā priye mṛgaśāvākṣi mama prāṇavināśini | māṃ muktvā'dya priyaṃ kāṃtaṃ kva gatāsi śubhānane
“ہائے میری پیاری، ہرن جیسی آنکھوں والی، میری جان کی قاتلہ! آج مجھے، اپنے عزیز شوہر کو چھوڑ کر، کہاں چلی گئی اے نیک رخسار؟”
Anarta-adhipati (the king; husband of Damayantī, lamenting)
Scene: The king, now upright, cries out with arms extended into empty space, calling his beloved by endearing epithets; attendants stand back, stunned.
Attachment and separation can overwhelm even a ruler; the Purāṇic frame urges steadiness and dharmic endurance amid grief.
The broader chapter belongs to the Śrīhāṭakeśvara-kṣetra māhātmya within the Nāgara-khaṇḍa (tīrtha-glorification context).
None in this verse; it is a lament within the kṣetra-māhātmya narrative.
