विराधवधः
The Slaying (Burial) of Viradha
प्रहृष्टरूपाविव रामलक्ष्मणौ विराधमुर्व्या प्रदरे निहत्य तौ।ननन्दतुर्वीतभयौ महावने शिलाभिरन्तर्दधतुश्च राक्षसम्।।।।
prahṛṣṭa-rūpāv iva rāma-lakṣmaṇau virādham urvyā pradare nihatya tau | nanandatur vīta-bhayau mahā-vane śilābhir antardadhatuś ca rākṣasam ||
كان راما ولاكشمانا كأنهما متلألئان بالفرح، فقتلا فيرادها وألقياه في شقٍّ من الأرض؛ وفي الغابة العظمى، وقد زال عنهما الخوف، واريا جسدَ الراكشسا بالصخور.
Striking the demon with fists, knees and feet, both of them smit him on the bare ground and pulverized him.
Restoring order: removing a predatory threat is part of dharma, enabling the forest-path of the righteous to be safe again.
Virādha is killed/neutralized by being placed into an earth-cleft and covered with stones.
Fearlessness (vīta-bhaya) and completion of duty.
