खरसेनासङ्ग्रामः — The Battle with Khara’s Host at the Hermitage
शरान्धकारमाकाशमावृणोत्सदिवाकरम्।बभूवावस्थितो रामः प्रवमन्निव ताञ्छरान्।।।।
nihatāḥ patitāḥ kṣīṇāś chinnā bhinnā vidāritāḥ | tatra tatra sma dṛśyante rākṣasās te sahasraśaḥ ||
There, in every place, rākṣasas were seen by the thousand—slain, fallen, weakened, severed, shattered, and torn apart.
Through the darkness created by the arrows that covered the sky and the Sun, Rama looked as though he was vomitting them.
It highlights moral causality: mass harm follows mass wrongdoing when violence is chosen as a path against the righteous.
After Rama’s overwhelming counterattack, the battlefield is littered with rākṣasa casualties in vast numbers.
Rama’s protective strength (rakṣaṇa-śakti) is implied—his power functions as a barrier against terror in the forest.
