युद्धे अङ्गद-मैन्द-द्विविद-राक्षसयुद्धम्; कुम्भस्य प्रादुर्भावः तथा सुग्रीवेण पराभवः (Sarga 76: Angada and the Vanara chiefs battle Kampana, Prajaṅgha, Yūpākṣa, Śoṇitākṣa; Kumbha enters and is checked by Sugrīva)
त्रयाणांवानरेन्द्राणांत्रिभीराक्षसपुङ्गवैः ।संसक्तानांमहद्युद्धमभवद्रोमहर्षणम् ।।।।
trayāṇāṃ vānarendrāṇāṃ tribhī rākṣasa-puṅgavaiḥ | saṃsaktānāṃ mahad yuddham abhavad roma-harṣaṇam ||
As the three Vānara chiefs and the three foremost Rākṣasas closed in combat, a great battle arose—one that made the onlookers shudder with awe.
A momentous war took place between the three Rakshasas (Prajaghna, Yupaksha and Sonitaksha) and Vanara chiefs (Angada, Dwivida and Mainda) that caused horripilation.
Dharma in war includes facing worthy opponents with steadfastness; the verse frames combat as a test of resolve and responsibility rather than mere violence.
A matched confrontation forms: three Vānara leaders engage three prominent Rākṣasa leaders in a major clash.
Valor and steadfastness under pressure—leaders personally enter the fray.
