Rasarnavasudhakara 2.338.p1

2.338.p1

ity atra vidrāva-tāralyādibhir udghoṣitasya dravya-nātha-savitrādi-gata-bhayasya apalāpaḥ katham abhidheyaḥ | tad-apalāpe ca kāla-kūṭa-bhakṣaṇasya sukaratvāt tat-kārya-nirvahaṇaika-prāṇasya nīlakaṇṭha-prabhāvotkarṣasya kathaṃ mastakonnamanaṃ syāt |

In this verse, how could one deny the fear belonging to Kubera, the sun, and the others, proclaimed by their flight, wavering, and so on? And if that were denied, since the swallowing of the kālakūṭa poison would then be an easy feat, how could the preeminence of Nīlakaṇṭha's power, whose sole essence lies in accomplishing that task, raise its head?
