Side note, I understand that's a minor mistranslation: "Death" is more like "Time" (which eventually destroys all things). In that line, I imagine a Hindu analogue of Chronos -- Time the Reaper, which mows men down at the end of their season, like so much grass. Ozymandias as well. This, then, would have less to do with the explosive power of the Trinity test, and more to do with the decaying remnants of missile silos, which are already ruins.
