रावणशूलप्रक्षेपः — Ravana Hurls the Trident; Rama Counters with Indra’s Javelin
निर्बिभेदोरपितदारावणंनिशितैश्शरैः ।राघवःपरमायत्तोललाटेपत्रतिभिस्त्रिभिः ।।।।
vimāna-sthās tadā devā gandharvāś ca mahoragāḥ |
ṛṣi-dānava-daityāś ca garutmantaś ca khecarāḥ ||
dadṛśus te tadā yuddhaṃ loka-saṃvarta-saṃsthitam |
nānā-praharaṇair bhīmaiḥ śūrayoḥ samprayudhyatoḥ ||
Then the gods, stationed in aerial cars (vimānas)—along with Gandharvas, great Nāgas, Ṛṣis, Dānavas and Daityas, and Garuḍa-like sky-goers—beheld that battle, like the world’s dissolution, as the two heroes fought on with many terrifying weapons.
Raghava pierced into the chest of Ravana sharp arrows and with great effort three sharp arrows on the forehead.
Dharma is portrayed as universally significant: righteous struggle is not merely personal but cosmic in consequence, witnessed by many orders of beings, emphasizing accountability beyond human society.
Celestial and other superhuman beings gather in the skies to witness the Rāma–Rāvaṇa duel, described as apocalyptic in intensity.
Heroic steadiness (vīrya) under extreme conditions—both combatants persist, but the narrative frame elevates the righteous cause as the one worthy of cosmic attention.
