खरसेनासङ्ग्रामः — The Battle with Khara’s Host at the Hermitage
असङ्ख्येयास्तु रामस्य सायकाश्चापमण्डलात्।विनिष्पेतुरतीवोग्रा रक्षःप्राणापहारिणः।।।।
asaṅkhyeyās tu rāmasya sāyakāś cāpamaṇḍalāt |
viniṣpetur atīvogrā rakṣaḥprāṇāpahāriṇaḥ ||
From the circle of Rama’s fully drawn bow, countless arrows sprang forth—fierce beyond measure, and life-taking to the demons.
From Rama's bow bent into a cirle, countless fierce arrows able to take the lives of demons were released.
Dharma sometimes demands overwhelming response to protect the good; the verse depicts force as legitimate when directed to end predation and restore safety.
Rama’s archery becomes a torrent—innumerable arrows pour out from his drawn bow into the demon host.
Power under control—Rama’s strength is depicted as immense yet purposeful.
