कुम्भकर्णवधः
The Slaying of Kumbhakarna
ततस्तमादायजगामवीरस्संस्तूयमानोयुधिराक्षसेन्द्रैः ।शृण्वन्निनादंत्रिदिवालयानांप्लवङ्गराजग्रहविस्मितानाम् ।।।।
tatas tam ādāya jagāma vīraḥ saṃstūyamāno yudhi rākṣasendraiḥ |
śṛṇvan ninādaṃ tridivālayānāṃ plavaṅga-rāja-graha-vismitānām ||
それから勇士は彼を抱えて去り、戦場にて羅刹の王たちに讃えられた。しかも彼は、猿の王が捕らえられたことに驚く三天の住人たちのどよめきを聞いた。
Thereafter the heroic Rakshasa king having held Sugriva in the battle went, duly praised (by Rakshasas), hearing the roaring sounds of gods in heaven wondering at Sugriva's capture.
Actions in Itihāsa unfold under cosmic witness; Dharma is not merely private—deeds in war are seen and judged beyond the battlefield, reinforcing accountability.
Kumbhakarṇa departs with the captured Sugrīva as Rākṣasa leaders praise him; even heavenly beings react with astonishment.
The verse emphasizes the gravity of leadership and consequence: capturing a king shakes the moral and strategic order, reminding warriors of the weight of their acts.
