सप्तनवतितमः सर्गः (Yuddha Kāṇḍa 97): Sugrīva’s Onslaught and the Fall of Virūpākṣa
ततःपादपमुद्धृत्यशूरस्सम्प्रधनोहरिः ।अभिपत्यजघानास्यप्रमुखेतुमहागजम् ।।।।
tataḥ pādapam uddhṛtya śūraḥ sampradhano hariḥ | abhipatya jaghānāsya pramukhe tu mahāgajam ||
પછી શૂર વાનર યુદ્ધરંગે ધસી ગયો; એક વૃક્ષ ઉખેડી આગળ કૂદી, મોખરે રહેલા મહાગજ પર પ્રહાર કર્યો.
Overwhelmed by the blow of Sugriva, that great elephant retreated four cubits, distressed, and roared.
Dharma appears as active protection: when aggressors threaten the community, the defender’s duty is to act swiftly and proportionately to stop harm.
Sugrīva counters the attack by using a tree as a weapon and striking the enemy’s war-elephant.
Courage in action (vikrama) and resourcefulness are highlighted.
