त्रयस्त्रिंशत्समाख्याता एते ये सुरनायकाः । क्षेत्रेऽत्रैवास्थिता नित्यं दानवानां वधाय च
trayastriṃśatsamākhyātā ete ye suranāyakāḥ | kṣetre'traivāsthitā nityaṃ dānavānāṃ vadhāya ca
“Đó là các bậc lãnh tụ chư thiên, được xưng là Ba Mươi Ba vị thần. Các ngài thường trụ ngay tại thánh địa này, cũng để diệt trừ bọn Dānava.”
Sūta (deduced from immediate narrative frame in Tīrthamāhātmya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A divine assembly of the Thirty-Three gods stationed in a radiant sacred field, weapons and emblems visible, with subdued demonic silhouettes at the periphery being repelled.
A tīrtha is portrayed as a living sacred zone where divine presence continually safeguards dharma and subdues demonic tendencies.
The verse sits in the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra / Amareśvara-kuṇḍa Māhātmya context within Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya.
No direct ritual is prescribed in this verse; it establishes the perpetual divine presence of the Thirty-Three at the kṣetra.
