ដោយរាវណៈមានកម្លាំងខ្លាំងតែចិត្តអាក្រក់ បង្វិលបោះចេញដោយល្បឿន លំពែងនោះបានឆេះភ្លឺរលោងដោយតេជៈដ៏មហិមា ចែងចាំងដូចអសនីភ្លើង។
That javelin was endowed with speed, resembling thunderbolt in splendour, whirled round by the mighty and evil-minded Ravana, shone.
The epic warns that strength without dharma becomes dangerous brilliance—impressive, yet morally misdirected.
Rāvaṇa readies and brandishes a fast, blazing spear, escalating the threat.
The verse foregrounds martial might; ethically, it serves as a contrast to righteous use of power.
