रावणवधदर्शनम् — Lament of the Rākṣasa Women upon Seeing Rāvaṇa Slain
यो न शक्यस्सुरैर्हन्तुं न यक्षैर्नासुरैस्तथा ।सोऽयंकश्चिदिवासत्त्वोमृत्युंमर्त्येनलम्भितः ।।।।
yo na śakyaḥ surair hantuṃ na yakṣair nāsurais tathā |
so 'yaṃ kaścid ivāsattvo mṛtyuṃ martyena lambhitaḥ ||6.113.16||
He whom neither gods, nor Yakṣas, nor Asuras could slay—he has now met death at the hand of a mortal, lying as though stripped of all power.
"He, who could not be killed by Suras, Asuras or Yakshas, such a hero lies like a weak person devoid of strength, killed by a mortal, is resting."
Adharma weakens the wrongdoer from within; when righteousness is opposed, the end comes inevitably—often through unexpected means.
The lament intensifies, stressing the irony that cosmic beings could not kill him, yet death came through a human opponent.
Rāma’s divinely-aligned humanity: strength rooted in truth and duty rather than mere supernatural status.
