एवं संचिन्त्य चित्तेन बहुधा तीक्ष्णदीधितिः । जगाम मनसा भीतः सोऽगस्त्यं मुनिपुंगवम्
evaṃ saṃcintya cittena bahudhā tīkṣṇadīdhitiḥ | jagāma manasā bhītaḥ so'gastyaṃ munipuṃgavam
یوں دل میں بہت طرح سوچ بچار کر کے، تیز شعاعوں والا سورج اندر سے خوف زدہ ہو کر، اپنے من میں مُنیوں کے سردار اگستیہ کی طرف متوجہ ہوا۔
Narrator
Tirtha: Agastya-āśrama (invoked)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Sūrya, rays sharp yet subdued by fear, closes his eyes; a luminous thought-form of Agastya appears—small in stature, radiant with tapas, seated by a riverbank with kamandalu and staff.
When order is threatened, refuge is sought in realized sages; rishis embody dharma that stabilizes the world.
Agastya’s āśrama tradition is invoked as part of sacred geography; the verse prepares for the āśrama locale mentioned next.
None.
