अकम्पन-प्रेषणम् तथा कपि-राक्षस-रणवर्णनम् (Akampana Dispatched; The Vanara–Rakshasa Battle and Omens)
बाहुभिःपरिघाकारैर्युध्यन्तःपर्वतोपमाः ।।।।हरयोभीमकर्माणोराक्षसान्झघ्नुराहवे ।
bāhubhiḥ parighākārair yudhyantaḥ parvatōpamāḥ | harayo bhīma-karmāṇo rākṣasān jaghnur āhave ||
Fighting with arms like iron bars, the Vānaras—mountain-like and terrible in deed—struck down the Rākṣasas in the battle.
The Vanaras of terrific deeds, like hills in form, resembling iron bars attacked many Rakshasas in the battle.
The verse portrays overwhelming force; within a dharmic framework, such power is justified only when aligned with protection of the righteous cause, not personal rage or cruelty.
The Vānaras gain momentum, using sheer bodily strength to defeat the Rākṣasas in close combat.
Valor and steadfastness in combat are emphasized (vīrya), presented as formidable when disciplined toward the war’s rightful end.
