कुम्भकर्णवधः
The Slaying of Kumbhakarna
ऋषभश्शरभोनीलोगवाक्षोगन्धमादनः ।।।।पञ्चवानरशार्दूलाःकुम्बुकर्णमुपाद्रवन् ।
ṛṣabhaś śarabho nīlo gavākṣo gandhamādanaḥ |
pañca vānaraśārdūlāḥ kumbukarṇam upādravan ||
ઋષભ, શરભ, નીલ, ગવાક્ષ અને ગંધમાદન—વાનરવીરોમાં વાઘ સમા પાંચ મહાશૂર—કુંભકર્ણ પર ધસી પડ્યા.
Rshaba, Sarabha, Neela, Gavaksha and Gandhamadana, these five tigers among Vanaras attacked Kumbhakarna.
Dharma appears as collective responsibility: when adharma grows formidable, righteous allies act together rather than leaving the burden to one hero alone.
A group of leading Vānara champions jointly engages Kumbhakarṇa to check his advance.
The shared virtue is saṅghabala (strength through unity) and utsāha (spirited initiative).
