Mahāpārśva-vadhaḥ — The Slaying of Mahāpārśva
Angada’s Counterstrike
केषांचिदिषुभिर्बाहुन् स्कन्धांश्छिच्छेदराक्षसः च ।।।।वानराणांसुङ्कृद्ध: पार्श्वंकेषांव्यदारयत् ।
keṣāṃ cid iṣubhir bāhūn skandhāṃś ciccheda rākṣasaś ca | vānarāṇāṃ susaṃkruddhaḥ pārśvaṃ keṣāṃ vyadārayat ||
その羅刹(ラークシャサ)は激怒し、矢で一部のヴァナラの腕や肩を切り落とし、他の者の脇腹を引き裂いた。
Angada, who was equal to his father in his prowess, was highly furious and himself clenched his fist which resembled thunderbolt.
The verse frames the harsh reality of war: adharma-driven rage produces indiscriminate harm. Dharma in battle requires restraint and right purpose; uncontrolled krodha (anger) is shown as destructive.
Mahāpārśva (a rākṣasa warrior) attacks the vānaras fiercely, wounding and maiming many with arrows.
By contrast (implicit), the need for self-control and disciplined valor; the rākṣasa’s lack of restraint highlights the ethical ideal of controlled strength.
