rarāja samare rāmo vidhūmo 'gnir iva jvalan ||
وقد جُرح الراغhava في جميع أعضائه بالسهام فاشتدّ غضبه؛ وفي المعركة أشرق راما كالنار الخالصة بلا دخان، متّقداً.
Khara, the mighty demon, saw his large, irrepressible army killed. He saw Trisira and Dusana slain single-handed by Rama. Nervous, he advanced towards Rama wage war just as Namuchi approached Indra.
FAQs

Kṣānti with tejas (endurance with spiritual radiance): he bears pain yet remains focused, his strength intensifying rather than collapsing.
