कृतंभारसहस्रस्यशूलंकालायसंमहत् ।बभञ्जजानुमारोप्यतदाहृष्टःप्लवङ्गमः ।।।।
kṛtaṃ bhārasahasrasya śūlaṃ kālāyasaṃ mahat | babhañja jānum āropya tadā hṛṣṭaḥ plavaṅgamaḥ ||
Jenen gewaltigen Spieß aus schwarzem Eisen, auf das Gewicht von tausend Bhāras geschmiedet, legte der Vānara freudestrahlend auf sein Knie und brach ihn entzwei.
Then a rejoiced monkey, resting the thousand bharas iron pike on his knee broke it.
Dharma celebrates strength used rightly: power becomes praiseworthy when it neutralizes harm and protects the just.
Hanumān physically breaks the massive iron pike, demonstrating decisive defense against Kumbhakarṇa’s assault.
Vīrya (heroic strength) joined with readiness and confidence in service to Rāma’s cause.
