युद्धे अङ्गद-मैन्द-द्विविद-राक्षसयुद्धम्; कुम्भस्य प्रादुर्भावः तथा सुग्रीवेण पराभवः
Sarga 76: Angada and the Vanara chiefs battle Kampana, Prajaṅgha, Yūpākṣa, Śoṇitākṣa; Kumbha enters and is checked by Sugrīva
तस्यबाणपथंप्राप्य न शेकुरतिवर्तितुम् ।।।।वानरेन्द्रामहात्मानोवेलामिवमहादधिः ।
tasya bāṇapathaṃ prāpya na śekur ativartitum | vānarendrā mahātmāno velām iva mahādadhiḥ ||
Ketika memasuki jangkauan anak panahnya, para pemimpin wanara yang berhati luhur itu tak sanggup melampauinya—seperti samudra agung tak dapat melampaui garis pantainya.
The Vanara leaders could not bear the range of arrows of Kumbhaka, just as a tide can't overstep the shore of an ocean.
Recognition of limits (maryādā): even the powerful must respect boundaries—here shown through the ocean’s shore as a moral image of restraint.
The Vānara leaders are forced to halt because Kumbha’s arrow-range prevents them from advancing.
Maryādā-bodha (awareness of boundaries) and strategic patience under pressure.
