मुक्त्वैकां योषितं देवि तस्मात्त्वं विनिपातय
muktvaikāṃ yoṣitaṃ devi tasmāttvaṃ vinipātaya
Vì thế, ôi Nữ Thần, xin chỉ trừ một người nữ, còn lại hãy đánh ngã và diệt trừ hắn.
Devas
Scene: The devas address the Goddess with a tactical plea: since Mahīṣa is invulnerable to all beings and gods, except (by implication) a woman, they request Devi to strike him down.
Divine wisdom turns the very conditions of arrogance into the means of justice; Devī becomes the instrument of dharma.
No tīrtha is named in this line; it advances the Arbuda Khaṇḍa storyline.
None; it is a petition/request to Devī based on the boon’s exception.
