又有旃陀(Caṇḍa)、婆陵伽利提(Bhṛṅgiriṭi)、吞底(Tuṇḍī)与普罗旃陀(Pracaṇḍa)——喜爱坦达瓦(Tāṇḍava)之舞;并有毗亲提罗(Piciṃḍila)、粗首者(Sthūlaśiras)、粗发者(Sthūlakeśa)与光焰者(Gabhastimān)——诸湿婆眷属皆燃起凶烈之威光。
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa narrative style)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Gaṇas whirl in a protective tāṇḍava around a blazing center; Caṇḍa and Pracaṇḍa leap with raised arms; Bhṛṅgiriṭi stands ascetic yet fierce; hair and ornaments flare like sparks; Kāśī’s lamps and bells echo the dance.
Śiva’s cosmic rhythm (Tāṇḍava) and his fierce attendants symbolize the removal of obstacles to Dharma and the safeguarding of sacred space.
Kāśī, implicitly, within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s account of divine guardians.
None; the verse is descriptive rather than prescriptive.
