अकम्पनवधः — The Slaying of Akampana
Hanuman’s rout of the Rakshasa host
गृहीत्वातंमहाशैलंपाणिनैकेनमारुतिः ।सविनद्यमहानादंभ्रामयामासवीर्यवान् ।।6.56.16।।
gṛhītvā taṁ mahāśailaṁ pāṇināikena mārutiḥ | savinadya mahānādaṁ bhrāmayāmāsa vīryavān ||
勇猛なるマールティは、その大山を片手でつかみ、轟く大音声を放って、ぐるりと振り回した。
He, the heroic Maruthi, with one hand alone taking a huge mountain whirled round making loud noises.
Strength becomes meaningful when it protects Satya; the epic frames extraordinary power as legitimate when exercised in defense of a righteous mission.
Hanumān prepares a decisive strike by swinging the uprooted mountain, signaling imminent defeat for the rākṣasa.
Heroic potency (vīrya) joined with unwavering commitment to the cause of Dharma.
