रावणशूलप्रक्षेपः — Ravana Hurls the Trident; Rama Counters with Indra’s Javelin
रामंदृष्टवासुसङ्क्रुद्धमुत्पातांश्चैवसुदारुणान् ।वित्रेसुस्सर्वभूतानिरावणस्याभवद्भयम् ।।।।
nirbhibheda tato bāṇair hayān asya mahājavān |
rāmas tīkṣṇair mahāvegair bāṇavadbhir ajihmagaiḥ ||
Then mighty Rama shattered Ravana's swift horses with sharp, high-speed arrows that flew straight and true.
Rama became highly furious, most dreadful sounds were rising up and all beings were frightened. Ravana was also afraid.
Dharma here is expressed as disciplined, effective action in a just war: Rāma’s force is precise and purposeful, directed toward ending adharma rather than indulging in cruelty.
In the midst of the duel, Rāma disables Rāvaṇa’s mobility by striking down the horses with a rapid, accurate volley.
Skill guided by restraint—martial excellence (śaurya) combined with focus and control.
