युद्धाय रावणस्य निर्याणं तथा उत्पातदर्शनम् (Ravana’s Mobilization for War and the ظهور of Fatal Portents)
यत्र यत्र रावणः क्रुद्धो रथेनाभिद्रवत्तदा । तत्र तत्र वानरानीकं न शशाक सहिष्यते ॥
yatra yatra rāvaṇaḥ kruddho rathenābhidravattadā | tatra tatra vānarānīkaṃ na śaśāka sahiṣyate ||
Wherever the enraged Rāvaṇa charged in his chariot, there and then the monkey battalions could not endure his assault—overwhelmed by the force and speed of his arrows as his wrath drove him through the field.
In the battlefield wherever Ravana drove in fury, rolling his eyes filled with anger, the monkey troops could not withstand the speed of his arrows.।। itayāraṣēvālamīkīyēśarīmadarāmāyaṇēādikāvayēyudadhakāṇaḍēṣaṇaṇanavatitamasasaragaḥ ।।This is the end of the ninety sixth sarga of Yuddha Kanda of the first epic the holy Ramayana composed by sage Valmiki.
Uncontrolled anger (krodha) can generate immense destructive power, but it is ethically marked as a force aligned with adharma; the verse highlights how wrath amplifies violence and suffering on the battlefield.
During the battle, Rāvaṇa repeatedly charges wherever he sees an opening, and the vānaras in those areas fail to hold their ground, being driven back by the intensity and speed of his arrow-shower.
