निवृत्तः सहसा पार्थ महागज इवोन्नदन् । स वज्रमुष्टि नाहत्य भुजे शक्रमपातयत्
nivṛttaḥ sahasā pārtha mahāgaja ivonnadan | sa vajramuṣṭi nāhatya bhuje śakramapātayat

Power without Dharma can topple even the mighty; hence divine victory requires a higher, divinely ordained resolution.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse is purely narrative.
None.
