विशल्यौ चापि सुग्रीव: क्षणेनैता चकार ह । विशल्यया महौषध्या दिव्यमन्त्रप्रयुक्तया,फिर सुग्रीवने दिव्य मन्त्रोंद्वारा अभिमन्त्रित विशल्या नामक महौषधिद्वारा उनके अंगोंसे बाण निकालकर उन्हें क्षणभरमें स्वस्थ कर दिया

viśalyau cāpi sugrīvaḥ kṣaṇenaitā cakāra ha | viśalyayā mahauṣadhyā divyamantraprayuktayā ||

പിന്നീട് സുഗ്രീവൻ ദിവ്യമന്ത്രങ്ങളാൽ അഭിമന്ത്രിതമായ ‘വിശല്യാ’ എന്ന മഹൗഷധം പ്രയോഗിച്ച് അവരുടെ അവയവങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നുള്ള ശരങ്ങൾ നീക്കി, ക്ഷണത്തിൽ തന്നെ അവരെ സുഖസ്ഥരാക്കി।

Educational Q&A

Sacred power—mantra and medicinal knowledge—finds its highest dharmic expression when used to protect life and relieve suffering, not merely to display prowess.

Sugrīva uses the great herb Viśalyā, empowered by divine mantras, to remove embedded arrows from the wounded and make them whole again immediately.
