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)
तयोःपादाभिघाताच्चनिमग्नाचाभवन्महि ।व्याघूर्णिततरङ्गश्चचुक्षुभेवरुणालयः ।।।।
tayoḥ pādābhighātāc ca nimagnā cābhavan mahī |
vyāghūrṇitatarangaś ca cukṣubhe varuṇālayaḥ ||
By the pounding of their feet, the earth seemed to sink; and the ocean—the abode of Varuṇa—grew turbulent, its waves rolling in violent swirls.
Then by the trampling of their feet the earth sank down, the abode of Varuna (ocean) was agitated with rolling waves.
It underscores the weight of violent action: even a ‘just war’ carries vast consequences. Dharma requires awareness of impact and the need to restrain destruction to what is necessary.
Their wrestling is so intense that nature itself is poetically described as reacting—earth sinking and the ocean churning.
Unyielding strength and determination (bala, dhṛti), portrayed at a near-cosmic scale.
