रावण–रामयुद्धप्रारम्भः
The Intensification of the Rama–Ravana Duel
तान् शरौघांस्ततोभल्लैस्तीक्ष्णैश्चिच्छेदराघवः ।दीप्यमानान् महाघोरान्क्रुद्धानाशीविषानिव ।।6.100.24।।
tān śaraughāṃs tato bhallais tīkṣṇaiś ciccheda rāghavaḥ |
dīpyamānān mahāghorān kruddhān āśīviṣān iva ||6.100.24||
そこでラガヴァは、鋭いバッラ(bhalla)の矢でその押し寄せる矢の奔流を断ち切った。燃え立ち恐るべきそれは、怒れる毒蛇のごとくであった。
Thus, Raghava on Ravana and Ravana on Raghava, in that manner sharp arrows showered on one another.
The dharmic ideal is mastery over violence: Rama neutralizes the threat efficiently, emphasizing protection and precision rather than uncontrolled destruction.
Rama’s counterattack intercepts and breaks the incoming arrow-streams.
Skill guided by restraint—technical excellence serving a righteous aim.
