Mahāpārśva-vadhaḥ — The Slaying of Mahāpārśva (Angada’s Counterstrike)
महोदरेतुनिहतेमहापार्श्वोमहाबलः ।सुग्रीवेणसमीक्ष्याथक्रोधात्सम्ररक्तलोचनः ।।।।अङ्गदस्यचमूंभीमांक्षोभयामाससायकैः ।
mahodare tu nihate mahāpārśvo mahābalaḥ |
sugrīveṇa samīkṣyātha krodhāt saṃraktalocanaḥ ||6.99.1||
aṅgadasya camūṃ bhīmāṃ kṣobhayām āsa sāyakaiḥ |
When Mahodara had been slain, the mighty Mahāpārśva, seeing that it was Sugrīva’s deed, his eyes reddened with wrath; and with his arrows he threw Angada’s formidable host into turmoil.
Gazing at Mahodara killed by Sugriva, mighty Mahaparsva's eyes turned red in anger. He created a commotion in the army of Angada.
The verse warns how grief and anger rapidly turn into further violence; dharma calls for restraint and discernment, especially after loss.
After Mahodara is killed by Sugrīva, Mahāpārśva becomes enraged and retaliates by disrupting Angada’s forces with arrows.
From a moral lens, the highlighted trait is uncontrolled krodha; narratively, Mahāpārśva’s fierce retaliatory drive is foregrounded.
