शत्रुरेष त्वया वीर देवगन्धर्वभोगिनाम् | यक्षाणां दानवानां च महर्षीणां च पातित:,वीरवर! यह रावण देवता, गन्धर्व, नाग, यक्ष, दानव तथा महर्षियोंका भी शत्रु था। इसे तुमने मार गिराया है
śatrur eṣa tvayā vīra devagandharvabhoginām | yakṣāṇāṁ dānavānāṁ ca maharṣīṇāṁ ca pātitaḥ ||
Varuṇa said: “O hero, this one was an enemy of the gods, the Gandharvas, the Nāgas, the Yakṣas, the Dānavas, and even the great seers. You have now struck him down.”

Educational Q&A
A righteous hero is praised for removing a threat that harms many orders of beings; protecting the wider world and restoring balance (loka-saṅgraha) is presented as a worthy, dharmic act.
Varuṇa addresses a valiant figure and declares that the fallen opponent had been hostile to multiple classes of beings—divine, semi-divine, and sage-like—and commends the hero for having brought that enemy down.
