अकम्पनवृत्तान्तः — Akampana Reports Janasthana; Ravana Plans Sita’s Abduction
स तेन सह संयुक्तः पावकेनानिलो यथा।श्रीमान्राजवरस्तेन जनस्थानं निपातितम्।।3.31.17।।
sa tena saha saṃyuktaḥ pāvakena anilo yathā |
śrīmān rājavaras tena janasthānaṃ nipātitam ||3.31.17||
United with him, Rama—prosperous and best among kings—was like wind joined to fire; by him Janasthana was brought down.
Rama is prosperous. He is the best among kings. Lakshmana with him is like wind with fire. Rama has pulled down Janasthana.
Righteous power becomes decisive when aligned with rightful purpose and loyal cooperation—Dharma is strengthened through unity in just action.
Akampana explains that Rāma, aided by Lakṣmaṇa, destroyed the rākṣasa stronghold of Janasthāna.
Synergy of virtues: Rāma’s kingly excellence and Lakṣmaṇa’s supportive force, depicted as fire intensified by wind.
