जटायुरावणयुद्धम्
Jatayu’s Combat with Ravana
तच्चाग्निसदृशं दीप्तं रावणस्य शरावरम्।पक्षाभ्यां स महावीर्यो व्याधुनोत्पतगेश्वरः।।।।
tac cāgni-sadṛśaṁ dīptaṁ rāvaṇasya śarāvaram |
pakṣābhyāṁ sa mahā-vīryo vyādhunot patageśvaraḥ ||
ರಾವಣನ ಅಗ್ನಿಸಮಾನವಾಗಿ ದೀಪ್ತವಾಗಿದ್ದ ಶರಾವರವನ್ನು ಮಹಾವೀರ ಪತಗೇಶ್ವರ ಜಟಾಯು ತನ್ನ ರೆಕ್ಕೆಗಳಿಂದ ಹರಿದು ಹಾಕಿದನು.
Mighty Jatayu, lord of the birds, shattered with his wings the armour of Ravana that was glowing like fire.
Righteous defense is persistent and strategic—dharma is upheld by removing protections that enable oppression.
In the continuing battle, Jatāyu damages Rāvaṇa’s protective gear, pressing the fight to rescue Sītā.
Mahā-vīrya (great valor): sustained strength directed toward a morally justified end.
