अकम्पनवृत्तान्तः — Akampana Reports Janasthana; Ravana Plans Sita’s Abduction
वीरः पृथुयशाश्श्रीमानतुल्यबलविक्रमः।हतं तेन जनस्थानं खरश्च सह दूषणः।।3.31.11।।
vīraḥ pṛthu-yaśāḥ śrīmān atulya-bala-vikramaḥ |
hataṃ tena janasthānaṃ kharaś ca saha dūṣaṇaḥ ||
He is a hero of far-spread renown, radiant and blessed, with strength and valor beyond compare. By him Janasthana has been laid waste—and Khara too was slain, along with Dushana.
He is a hero of great fame and unequal prowess. He has destroyed your Janasthana and also Khara along with Dusana.
Dharma is shown as effective, not merely ideal: righteous resistance can dismantle entrenched terror. The fall of Khara’s regime indicates that adharmic power is not invincible.
Akampana reports the military disaster to Ravana: Rama has annihilated Janasthana and killed Khara and Dushana.
Rama’s decisive valor: swift, overwhelming action taken to end a threat to sages and the forest order.
