That Vanara whose body is of ochre hue—ever scorning all other Vanaras proud of their strength—he, the radiant one named Gavaya, advances upon you in anger.
"He who is of an orange colour body of hand some form, who nourishes it ever and who is proud of his strength, a glorious one known as Gava ya is coming towards you angrily with disregard for Vanaras."
A cautionary dharmic note appears through ‘bala-darpa’ (pride in strength): power without humility tends toward contempt and anger, which cloud right judgment.
Sāraṇa points out Gavaya among the Vanara chiefs and characterizes his temperament as aggressive and disdainful.
Tejas (splendour/energy) is highlighted, though paired with a flaw—anger and scorn—showing that valor must be governed by restraint for dharmic excellence.
