जम्बुमालिवधः
The Slaying of Jambumali
भ्रामयन्तं कपिं दृष्ट्वा सालवृक्षं महाबलम्।चिक्षेप सुबहून्बाणान्जम्बुमाली महाबलः।।।।
bhrāmayantaṁ kapiṁ dṛṣṭvā sālavṛkṣaṁ mahābalam |
cikṣepa subahūn bāṇān jambumālī mahābalaḥ ||
शाल-वृक्ष को घुमाते हुए उस महाबली कपि को देखकर महाबल जम्बुमाली ने उस पर बहुत-से बाण चलाए।
Gigantic Jambumali seeing the mighty Hanuman whirling the sala tree fired many arrows at him.
The verse highlights the escalating clash between dharmic mission and adharmic defense; dharma requires steadfastness amid increasing opposition.
As Hanumān prepares to strike with a whirled tree, Jambumālī responds with a volley of arrows.
For Hanumān, fearlessness under barrage; for the opponent, tactical aggression in battle.
