निकुम्भवधः — The Slaying of Nikumbha
Hanuman’s Duel
तथाभिहतस्तेनहनुमान् प्लवगोत्तमः ।।।।मुष्टिंसम्वर्तयामासबलेनातिमहाबलः ।
tathābhihatas tena hanumān plavagottamaḥ |
muṣṭiṃ saṃvartayāmāsa balenātimahābalaḥ ||
ដូច្នេះ បន្ទាប់ពីត្រូវវាយហើយ ហនុមាន—អ្នកលើកំពូលក្នុងចំណោមវានរ មានកម្លាំងអស្ចារ្យ—បានក្តាប់កណ្ដាប់ដៃរឹងមាំដោយអំណាចទាំងមូល។
Highly energetic champion endowed with speed, close to wind god in valour raising his fist instantly crushed Nikumbha on the chest.
Dharma includes disciplined power: strength is gathered and directed purposefully, not wasted in panic or cruelty.
After being struck, Hanumān prepares to counterattack, focusing his energy into a decisive response.
Saṃyama (controlled force): Hanumān’s restraint and focus precede effective action.
