कुम्भकर्णस्य प्रबोधनम् — The Awakening and Commissioning of Kumbhakarna
अथदृष्टवादशग्रीवःकुम्भकर्णमुपस्थितम् ।तूर्णमुत्थायसंहृष्टःसन्निकर्षमुपानयत् ।।6.62.7।।
tad etat sarvam ātiṣṭha vīryaṁ bhīmaparākrama ||6.62.22||
na hi te sarvabhūteṣu dṛśyate sadṛśo balī |
Therefore, muster all your might, O you of dreadful prowess; for among all beings none is seen who equals you in strength.
The ten headed Ravana seeing Kumbhakarna, was delighted and got up quickly and made him come close to him.
The verse illustrates how extraordinary ability creates responsibility; dharma asks that strength be exercised for protection and justice, not merely for a relative’s cause.
Rāvaṇa urges Kumbhakarṇa to fully deploy his power, asserting his unmatched strength.
Vīrya (heroic strength) is foregrounded; the ethical lens of the epic stresses that vīrya must be guided by satya and dharma.
