अक्षवधः (The Slaying of Prince Aksha)
Sundarakāṇḍa Sarga 47
ततस्तलेनाभिहतो महारथ स्स तस्य पिङ्गाधिपमन्त्रिनिर्जितः।प्रभग्ननीडः परिमुक्तकूबरः पपात भूमौ हतवाजिरम्बरात्।।5.47.32।।
tatas talenābhihato mahārathas sa tasya piṅgādhipamantrinirjitaḥ |
prabhagnanīḍaḥ parimuktakūbaraḥ papāta bhūmau hatavājir ambarāt ||5.47.32||
Kemudian, dihantam telapak tangan Hanumān, kereta besar itu—yang ditundukkan oleh sang menteri dari penguasa bermata keemasan (Sugrīva)—dengan tempat duduknya remuk, rangka kuknya terlepas, dan kuda-kudanya tewas, jatuh dari langit ke bumi.
Then hit by Hanuman with his palm, the minister of the coppery-eyed Sugriva, the huge chariot seat of Aksha was broken, the wooden frame of the yoke was disjointed, horses were slain and the great chariot fell down from the sky.
Actions carry immediate consequences: arrogance and aggression meet resistance, and the narrative stresses accountability through visible outcomes.
After Hanumān kills the horses, Akṣa’s chariot structure breaks and crashes down from the air.
Hanumān’s irresistible force and battlefield dominance.
