रावणवधदर्शनम् — Lament of the Rākṣasa Women upon Seeing Rāvaṇa Slain
ताःपतिंसहसादृष्टवाशयानंरणपांसुषु ।निपेतुस्तस्यगात्रेषुछिन्नावनलताइव ।।।।
tāḥ patiṃ sahasā dṛṣṭvā śayānaṃ raṇapāṃsuṣu | nipetus tasya gātreṣu chinnā vanalatā iva ||
Seeing their husband lying amid the dust of battle, they suddenly fell upon his limbs, like garden-creepers cut down and collapsing.
In the battlefield they saw their husband lying, and precipitately fell on his limbs like broken creepers in a garden.
The verse reveals the tragic aftermath of adharma: when a leader falls, dependents collapse too—ethically warning against reckless, unrighteous rule.
The women reach the fallen Rāvaṇa and throw themselves upon his body in shock and grief.
Fidelity and attachment (as a human emotion) are foregrounded; the epic uses it to deepen ethical reflection on the cost of wrongdoing.
