Kumbhakarna’s Departure for Battle
अथान्यद्वपुरादायदारुणंरोमहर्षणम् ।निष्पपातमहातेजाःकुम्भकर्णोमहाबलः ।।।।धनुःशतपरीणाहः स षट्छत्रसमुच्छ्रितः ।रौद्रःशकटचक्राक्षोमहापर्वतसन्निभः ।।।।
athānyad vapur ādāya dāruṇaṃ romaharṣaṇam |
niṣpapāta mahātejāḥ kumbhakarṇo mahābalaḥ ||6.65.40||
dhanuḥśata-parīṇāhaḥ sa ṣaṭchatra-samucchritaḥ |
raudraḥ śakaṭacakrākṣo mahāparvata-sannibhaḥ ||6.65.40||
そのとき、大威光にして大力のクンバカルナは、恐ろしく身の毛もよだつ別の姿を取り、躍り出た。胴回りは百張の弓ほど、背丈は六百張の弓ほどにそびえ、猛々しく、眼は戦車の輪のごとく、巨大な山のようであった。
Assuming another fearful form, Kumbhakarna who was highly energetic, endowed with mighty strength and frightful in form, which was a hundred bows in breadth and six hundred bows in height, with eyes like wheels of chariot, enraged, seemed like a huge mountain.
Power and magnitude are morally neutral; the epic’s dharma lens evaluates such extraordinary strength by intention and alignment with righteousness, not by sheer size.
Kumbhakarṇa manifests an even more terrifying, colossal form as he charges out toward battle.
Overwhelming might and ferocity (bala/raudra), serving as a narrative counterweight to dharma-centered heroism.
