Devanagari script
तस्मिन् प्रवत्ते संग्रामे घोरे रुधिरकर्दमे । धूम्राक्ष; कपिसैन्यं तद् द्रावयामास पत्रिभि:,उस घोर संग्राममें धरतीपर रक्तकी कीच जम गयी थी। इसी समय धूम्राक्ष अपने बाणोंसे उस वानरसेनाको खदेड़ने लगा
Transliteration
tasmin pravṛtte saṅgrāme ghore rudhirakardame | dhūmrākṣaḥ kapisainyaṃ tad drāvayāmāsa patribhiḥ ||
Translation
When that dreadful battle had begun and the ground had turned into a mire of blood, Dhūmrākṣa, showering arrows, drove the monkey-host into flight. The scene underscores how unchecked fury in war turns the earth itself into a witness of suffering, while valor without restraint becomes mere devastation.
