ततोऽन्यंवृक्षमुत्पाट्यकृत्वावेगमनुत्तमम् ।शिरस्यभिजघानाशुराक्षसेन्द्रमकम्पनम् ।।6.56.29।।
tato ’nyaṃ vṛkṣam utpāṭya kṛtvā vegam anuttamam |
śirasy abhijaghānāśu rākṣasendram akampanam ||6.56.29||
その後、さらに別の樹を根こそぎ引き抜き、比類なき勢いをこめて、羅刹の王アカンパナの頭上をたちまち打ち据えた。
Then Hanuman performed another supreme deed by uprooting a tree and striking on the head of Akampana, the chief of Rakshasas.
Dharma here is decisive protection: when a violent aggressor threatens the righteous side, swift and proportionate force can become a duty to prevent further harm.
Hanuman counters Akampana’s arrow attack by uprooting a tree and striking him directly.
Parākrama (heroic initiative) and tactical decisiveness.
