तौप्रयुद्दौतदावीरौमृधेलक्ष्मणराक्षसौ ।शरौघानभिवर्षन्तौजघ्नतुस्तौपरस्परम् ।।।।
tau prayuddhau tadā vīrau mṛdhe lakṣmaṇarākṣasau | śaraughān abhivarṣantau jaghnatus tau parasparam ||
Entonces, en lo más recio del combate, aquellos dos héroes—Lakṣmaṇa y el rākṣasa—derramaron torrentes de flechas y se hirieron mutuamente sin cesar.
In that battle the two heroes, Lakshmana and Indrajith rained streams of arrows on each other and engaged themselves in the battle.
Kṣatriya-dharma is foregrounded: when conflict is unavoidable, warriors meet directly with courage and skill, maintaining steadfastness under danger.
Lakṣmaṇa and Indrajit enter a high-intensity arrow duel, each countering the other’s volleys.
Steadfast valor (dhairya) and martial excellence under pressure.
