कुम्भकर्णवधः
The Slaying of Kumbhakarna
तान् न्दृष्टवानिर्धुतान्रामोदुष्टोऽयमितिराक्षसः ।।।।समुत्पपातवेगेनधनुरुत्तममाददे ।
tān dṛṣṭvā nirdhutān rāmo duṣṭo ’yam iti rākṣasaḥ | samutpapāta vegena dhanur uttamam ādade ||
彼らが振り払われるのを見て、ラーマは「この羅刹は残忍だ」と見定め、疾く躍り出て、最上の弓を取り上げた。
Seeing the Vanaras shaken, Rama went towards the Rakshasa instantly and took out his best bow.
The protector’s duty: when allies are endangered, the righteous leader acts decisively to restrain wrongdoing.
After Kumbhakarna shakes off the Vanaras, Rama advances to engage him directly with his bow.
Protective resolve—swift intervention to defend those suffering harm.
