Struck by a blow of rock, Vidyunmālī, the night-roaming Rākṣasa, fell upon the ground—his heart crushed, his life departed.
The battlefield was dreadful and, frequented by jackals with spears, javelins, maces, and swords, strewn all over, similarly with broken chariots, horses, elephants, and monkeys fit for war. Broken wheels and axles of chariots were found all over.
The verse underscores the grave consequence of adharmic aggression: violence returns upon the violent, and the battlefield yields decisive outcomes.
A named Rākṣasa warrior, Vidyunmālī, is slain by a rock strike and collapses dead.
Determination and effective force in combat by the opposing side (implicitly the Vānara combatant), within the wartime duty to end the threat.
