vajradaṃṣṭraś ca daṃṣṭraś ca bahavo rākṣasā hatāḥ | makarākṣaś ca durdharṣo mayā yudhi nipātitaḥ ||

Vajradaṃṣṭra and Daṃṣṭra too were slain, along with many other Rākṣasas; and the hard-to-face Makarākṣa was struck down by me in battle.

"Yuddhonmatta and Matta both Rakshasa chiefs, and also Nikumbha and Kumbha, sons of Kumbhakarna (killed by Hanuman and Sugriva), and Vajradamshtra and Damshtra (killed by Angada), and Maha raksha who was difficult to encounter was killed by me in the combat."

Dharma here is truthful witness and rightful resistance: the speaker bears honest testimony of combat undertaken to end adharma.

A warrior recounts notable enemies and the many rākṣasas who fell, including an opponent personally defeated by the speaker.

Courage joined with truthfulness—valor that does not exaggerate but reports deeds plainly.
