Those heads—huge as mountains, with long, glaring eyes blazing like Vaiśvānara—fell upon the earth from Indra’s enemy, like stars released from the pathway of the sun.
The heads of Trisira, an enemy of Indra, resembling mountains with incongruous eyes glowing like Vyshvanara's eyes, fell into wilderness like stars fallen from the path of Sun.
The imagery teaches that unrighteous power, however dazzling, is transient; Dharma ultimately brings down adharma, like lights that fall when their support is removed.
After Hanumān severs them, Triśiras’ heads crash to the earth; the poet heightens the moment with cosmic similes.
Not a personal virtue but a moral vision: the inevitability of moral order (ṛta/dharma) prevailing over violent arrogance.
