रावणस्य सभाप्रवेशः — रामस्य शरवृष्ट्या राक्षससेनाविनाशः (Ravana Enters Council; Rama’s Arrow-Storm Destroys the Rakshasa Host)
शरीरनाभिसत्त्वार्चिश्शरारंनेमिकार्मुकम् ।ज्याघोषतलनिर्घोषंतेजोबुधदिगुणप्रभम् ।।।।दिव्यास्त्रगुणपर्यन्तंनिघ्नन्तंयुधिराक्षसान् ।ददृशूरामचक्रंतत्कालचक्रमिवप्रजाः ।।।।
bhramantīṃ kāñcanīṃ koṭiṃ kārmukasya mahātmanaḥ |
alāta-cakra-pratimāṃ dadṛśus te na rāghavam ||
As the great-souled Rāghava moved in rapid circles with his bow, they saw only the bow’s golden tip—like a whirling firebrand—and could not make out Rāma himself.
People saw Rama in the form of wheel exterminating the Rakshasas on the battlefield, which had the body of Sri Rama as its navel, his strength as its glow, the arrows as spokes, his bow as belly, the twangling of the bowstring as its sound, his virtues and effulgence as the power of his mystic missiles in war. Rama was seen as a wheel of time spirit by the people.
Dharma here appears as protective power rightly wielded: Rāma’s mastery in battle functions to subdue adharma while minimizing disorder among the righteous side.
In the thick of battle, Rāma’s speed and technique are so extraordinary that the enemies perceive only a spinning golden arc of the bow, not his body.
Vīrya (valor) and kauśala (martial skill), joined with steadiness of purpose.
