जम्बुमालिवधः
The Slaying of Jambumali
भ्रामयन्तं कपिं दृष्ट्वा सालवृक्षं महाबलम्।चिक्षेप सुबहून्बाणान्जम्बुमाली महाबलः।।।।
bhrāmayantaṁ kapiṁ dṛṣṭvā sālavṛkṣaṁ mahābalam |
cikṣepa subahūn bāṇān jambumālī mahābalaḥ ||
Als der mächtige Jambumālī den gewaltigen Affen sah, der den Śāla-Baum wirbelte, schoss er eine große Anzahl von Pfeilen auf ihn ab.
Gigantic Jambumali seeing the mighty Hanuman whirling the sala tree fired many arrows at him.
The verse highlights the escalating clash between dharmic mission and adharmic defense; dharma requires steadfastness amid increasing opposition.
As Hanumān prepares to strike with a whirled tree, Jambumālī responds with a volley of arrows.
For Hanumān, fearlessness under barrage; for the opponent, tactical aggression in battle.
