Shloka 6.55.28
अकम्पन-प्रेषणम् तथा कपि-राक्षस-रणवर्णनम् (Akampana Dispatched; The Vanara–Rakshasa Battle and Omens)
अकम्पनस्सुसङ्क्रुद्धोराक्षसानांचमूपतिः ।।।।सम्हर्षयतितान्सर्वान्राक्षसाभनिमविक्रमान् ।
eṣa jeṣyati kākatsthau sugrīvaṃ ca mahā-balam | vānarāṃś cāparān ghorān haniṣyati parantapaḥ ||
This scorcher of enemies will conquer the sons of Kakutstha (Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa), and mighty Sugrīva too; he will also destroy the other dreadful Vānara forces.
Highly enraged Akampana of fierce valour cheered all the Rakshasa troops.
The verse illustrates how adharma often speaks in the language of power and conquest; the Ramayana contrasts such bravado with Rāma’s dharmic restraint and rightful purpose.
A confident declaration is made that Akampana will defeat Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa, Sugrīva, and the Vānara hosts as the battle intensifies.
Martial confidence and aggressive resolve (though ethically ambiguous in the broader Ramayana frame).
