उद्वेजयति भूतानि कृष्णाहिरिववेत्ति कः । को वास्मिन्घोरसंसारे दक्षदक्षतमो भवेत्
udvejayati bhūtāni kṛṣṇāhirivavetti kaḥ | ko vāsminghorasaṃsāre dakṣadakṣatamo bhavet
谁能知晓何物令众生惊惧,如黑蛇一般?又在这可怖的轮回之中,谁能成为最为卓绝、最具胜能者?
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa), contextual attribution within Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration
Scene: A dark, coiled black serpent in the foreground symbolizes fear; behind it, beings recoil. A calm ascetic stands unmoved, holding a rosary and trident-marked staff, indicating supreme competence amid saṃsāra’s gloom.
It points to the unpredictability of fear and the harshness of saṃsāra, encouraging discernment and reliance on dharma.
