अथासौ हृदयं भित्त्वा तस्य दैत्यस्य दारुणा । चमत्कारपुरोपांते पतिता रुधिरोक्षिता
athāsau hṛdayaṃ bhittvā tasya daityasya dāruṇā | camatkārapuropāṃte patitā rudhirokṣitā
Ngọn lao đáng sợ ấy, sau khi xuyên thủng tim tên quỷ, liền rơi xuống gần ngoại vi thành Camatkārapura, vấy đẫm máu.
Sūta (deduced from the narration; explicit from v.23 onward)
Tirtha: Camatkārapura-pārśva (Śakti-pāta-sthāna, implied)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The spear pierces Tāraka’s heart; then, dripping blood, it drops to the earth near Camatkārapura’s outskirts, the ground glowing where it lands.
A tīrtha’s greatness is often anchored in a divine act; the landscape becomes sanctified through dharma’s victory over adharma.
Camatkārapura and its immediate environs (upānta) are explicitly named, indicating the locale whose māhātmya is being established.
None in this verse; it supplies the place-linked mythic event that later supports tīrtha-glorification.
