Shloka 3.31.30
अकम्पनवृत्तान्तः — Akampana Reports Janasthana; Ravana Plans Sita’s Abduction
नैव देवी न गन्धर्वी नाप्सरा नापि दानवी।तुल्या सीमन्तिनी तस्या मानुषीषु कुतो भवेत्।।3.31.30।।
evam ukto daśagrīvaḥ kruddhaḥ saṃraktalocanaḥ |
akampanam uvācedaṃ nirdahann iva cakṣuṣā ||3.31.3||
Thus addressed, the ten-necked Ravana—angered, his eyes reddened—spoke these words to Akampana, as though scorching him with his gaze.
She has no equal among goddesses nor among gandharvis nor apasaras nor among demonesses. How can there be a peer of her among human beings ?
Dharma requires mastery over anger; krodha distorts judgment and becomes a gateway to further unrighteous acts.
After hearing Akampana’s account, Ravana’s rage flares, and he begins responding to his subordinate.
A negative trait is highlighted: Ravana’s uncontrolled anger and intimidation, opposed to dharmic self-restraint.
