न च मंदं न चाकाशे संस्थितां स्वर्धुनीं हरिः । स्वपन्पश्यति कृष्णांगीं नित्यं नारीं धृतायुधाम्
na ca maṃdaṃ na cākāśe saṃsthitāṃ svardhunīṃ hariḥ | svapanpaśyati kṛṣṇāṃgīṃ nityaṃ nārīṃ dhṛtāyudhām
他既不见月神,也不见安住天穹的天界恒河;而在睡梦之中,他不断看见一位肢体黝黑、执持兵刃的女子。
Narrator (contextual, within Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The sky lacks the Moon; the celestial Gaṅgā (Milky Way) is not visible. In sleep, Indra repeatedly sees a dark-bodied woman, armed, approaching—an embodied omen of calamity.
Purāṇas treat disrupted celestial vision and fearful dreams as moral-cosmic warnings—signals to abandon arrogance and seek righteous guidance.
The verse does not name a tīrtha; it contributes to the narrative setting within the Tīrthamāhātmya.
None explicitly; it reports celestial omissions and a recurring ominous dream.
