रावणस्य अन्त्येष्टिः — Ravana’s Funeral Rites and the Ethics of Post-War Conduct
हन्तारंदानवेन्द्राणांयक्षाणां च सहस्रशः ।।।।निवातकवचानां च सङ्ग्रहीतारमाहवे ।
hantāraṃ dānavendrāṇāṃ yakṣāṇāṃ ca sahasraśaḥ | nivātakavacānāṃ ca saṅgrahītāram āhave ||
The slayer of thousands of yakṣas and of the lords of the dānavas; and in battle, the subduer of the Nivātakavacas as well.
"He who killed thousands of chiefs of Danavas, Yakshas, and subdued Nivatakavachas in combat;"
The verse teaches that extraordinary martial success does not grant immunity from the results of adharma; Satya asserts itself through consequence.
Mandodarī recalls Rāvaṇa’s mythic victories over powerful non-human classes, underscoring the scale of his fall.
Humility is implied: greatness without humility and Dharma collapses when confronted by righteous force.
