Context
"He who was residing on the banks of Gomathi earlier, which was delightful with a range of mountain peaks extending far, was ruling this kingdom from the mountain Sankochana. He is Kumuda by name. He drags his troops delightfully; the ones with hairy long tails, some of coppery red colour, some yellow and some with white tails. Such a Vanara called Kumuda is dragging hundred thousand Vanaras, some fastened and some scattered. He is one who has no pity and is frightening to look at. Single handed he is aspiring to crush Lanka with its army in war."
FAQs
By locating leaders in specific lands, the epic highlights dharma as rootedness and responsibility: power is tied to place, community, and legitimate stewardship.
The narration shifts to describing another Vānara leader’s domain and origin, preparing for his introduction in the next verse.
Implicitly, rājyadharma (duty of governance): the coming leader is framed as a ruler with a defined realm.
