कपिशोणितदिग्धाङ्गंभक्ष्यन्तंप्लवङ्गमान् ।कुम्भकर्णंस्थितंदृष्टवासुग्रीवोवाक्यमब्रवीत् ।।।।
kapiśoṇitadigdhāṅgaṃ bhakṣyantaṃ plavaṅgamān | kumbhakarṇaṃ sthitaṃ dṛṣṭvā sugrīvo vākyam abravīt ||
猿たちの血に身を染め、ヴァーナラを貪り食いながらそこに立つクンバカルナを見て、スグリーヴァは彼に言葉を放った。
Sugriva spoke these words seeing Kumbhakarna who stood smeared with the blood of Vanaras and eating monkeys.
It frames adharma vividly—devouring opponents—so that Sugrīva’s forthcoming challenge stands as defense of life, order, and righteous resistance.
Sugrīva witnesses Kumbhakarṇa eating the Vānaras and prepares to address him directly.
Sugrīva’s protective leadership and moral outrage at cruelty inflicted on his troops.
