pañcamas tv abhavat teṣāṁ pravaro yo mahāsuraḥ | mahaujā iti vikhyāto babhūveha parantapaḥ ||
毗舍波衍那说:在他们之中,第五位——最为卓绝的大阿修罗——在此世以“摩诃欧阇”(Mahaujā)之名著称,乃“灼敌者”。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights how identity in epic narrative is shaped by recognized qualities—here, extraordinary vigor and enemy-subduing prowess—showing that fame follows manifested power and deeds.
Vaiśampāyana continues a genealogical/accounting passage: the fifth among a group of great Asuras is identified as becoming known in the world by the name Mahaujā, described as a formidable 'scorcher of enemies.'
