भगवंस्त्वामुपाश्रित्य वयं देवांश्च सानुगान् । मन्यामहे तृणैस्तुल्यान्रुद्रोपेंद्रादिकानपि
bhagavaṃstvāmupāśritya vayaṃ devāṃśca sānugān | manyāmahe tṛṇaistulyānrudropeṃdrādikānapi
Bạch Đấng Bhagavān, nương tựa nơi Ngài, chúng con xem cả chư thiên cùng quyến thuộc—dẫu Rudra, Indra và các vị khác—cũng chỉ như ngọn cỏ.
Andhaka (deduced from immediate narrative: Andhaka speaks to Śukra in prior verse)
Scene: Andhaka, eyes fierce, speaks to Śukra with confident gestures; behind him, asura warriors stand proud; in the background, faint divine silhouettes (Rudra/Indra) are shown as being dismissed—visually signaling hubris.
Power without humility becomes delusion; the Purāṇas often show pride as the seed of downfall.
The surrounding work is the Kāśīkhaṇḍa (Kāśī/Vārāṇasī), though this verse is part of a mythic dialogue.
None; it expresses Andhaka’s reliance on his guru and his overconfidence.
