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)
सहसाभिहतस्तेनविप्रमुक्तपदस्स्फुरन् ।निपपाताद्रिकूटाभोविह्वलन् प्लवगोत्तमः ।।।।
sahasābhihatas tēna vipramukta-padaḥ sphuran |
nipapātādri-kūṭābhō vihvalan plavagōttamaḥ ||
Struck suddenly by him, Dvivida—the foremost of the vānara warriors—trembled; his legs gave way, and he fell like a mountain peak, bewildered by the blow.
Struck all of a sudden, the foremost Vanara (Dwivida) alarmed, fell with legs, outstretched, trembling.
It underscores the reality of consequence in war: even the mighty fall. The implied ethical reflection is humility before fate and the need to pursue righteous ends, not pride in strength.
After being hit by Kumbha’s arrow, the vānara hero Dvivida staggers and collapses heavily to the ground.
For the narrative, it highlights the opponent’s effectiveness and the fragility of physical power; ethically, it points toward vinaya (humility) as an implied lesson.
