Yuga-Lakṣaṇa and Varṣa-Pramāṇa Inquiry (युगलक्षण–वर्षप्रमाण–प्रश्न)

सहस्राणां शतान्येव यतो वर्षति वासव: । न तासां नामधेयानि परिमाणं तथैव च

sahasrāṇāṁ śatāny eva yato varṣati vāsavaḥ | na tāsāṁ nāmadheyāni parimāṇaṁ tathaiva ca ||

三阇耶说道:从那些源处,婆娑婆(因陀罗)降下雨水,千千百百,无量无数。它们各自的名号——以及同样的尺度、总数——都无法尽述。(此段旨在彰显维系生命的宇宙秩序之浩瀚,非寻常计数所能穷尽。)

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the immensity of the world’s sustaining systems—so vast that names and totals cannot be fully enumerated—pointing to humility before the cosmic order and the divine forces (like Indra) that uphold life through rain.

Sañjaya continues a descriptive account (cosmographic/sacred-geographic in tone), stating that Indra causes rain from innumerable sources, whose names and total measure are beyond complete listing.
