तामापतंतीं संप्रेक्ष्य गदां महिषवाहनः । गदायाः प्रतिघातार्थं जगज्ज्वलनभैरवम्
tāmāpataṃtīṃ saṃprekṣya gadāṃ mahiṣavāhanaḥ | gadāyāḥ pratighātārthaṃ jagajjvalanabhairavam
Thấy cây chùy lao tới, Yama—đấng cưỡi trâu—liền chuẩn bị để ngăn cú va chạm, dựng lên một ngọn lửa kinh khiếp, như thể cả thế gian bừng cháy.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages
Scene: Yama on his buffalo sees the mace hurtling in; he manifests a dreadful blaze, like the world aflame, to blunt the oncoming strike.
The imagery of world-burning terror signals the vast powers that uphold cosmic order; it cautions that confronting Dharma’s guardians invites consequences beyond ordinary strength.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
None.
