तद्रामविशिखच्छिन्नं शूलं तस्यकराद्भुवि।पपाताशनिना छिन्नं मेरोरिव शिलातलम्।।3.3.20।।
tad rāma-viśikhacchinnaṃ śūlaṃ tasya karād bhuvi | papāta aśaninā chinnaṃ meror iva śilātalam ||3.3.20||
Aquel venablo, cercenado por las flechas de Rāma, cayó de su mano a la tierra, como una losa del monte Meru hendida por un rayo.
The spike, broken down by Rama's arrow, fell like a slab of mount Meru splintered by Indra's thunder.
Dharma is protective order prevailing over violent chaos: an unjust weapon raised against the righteous is brought down.
The broken spear falls from Virādha’s hand to the ground after Rāma’s interception.
Steady guardianship—Rāma’s controlled intervention prevents the weapon from reaching its target.
