Once again the battle surged—tumultuous and hair-raising; by the clangor of maces, mallets, and iron bars, and by the gusts raised by arrow-feathers, even the seven seas were thrown into agitation.
Once again ensued a tumultuous war fought with maces, mallets, and iron bars, caused hair to stand and the resound of the speed of weapons caused agitation in the seven seas.
Ramayana often links moral conflict with cosmic resonance: when dharma and adharma clash at a decisive scale, nature itself reflects the disturbance, underscoring that ethics is not merely personal but world-ordering.
The duel becomes so violent that the noise and weapon-storm are described as shaking even the oceans.
Not a single virtue, but the gravity of righteous struggle: the narrative frames the conflict as epochal, demanding vigilance and moral clarity.
