Trisira’s Counsel and the Slaying of Naranthaka
शैलसङ्घातसङ्काशोहरीणामुत्तमोऽङ्गदः ।रराजाङ्गदसन्नद्धस्सधातुरिवपर्वतः ।।।।
śaila-saṅghāta-saṅkāśo harīṇām uttamo ’ṅgadaḥ | rarāja aṅgada-sannaddhaḥ sa-dhātur iva parvataḥ ||
ശിലാസമൂഹംപോലെ തോന്നുന്ന വാനരശ്രേഷ്ഠൻ അങ്കദൻ, അങ്കദങ്ങളാൽ അലങ്കരിക്കപ്പെട്ട്, ധാതുരേഖകളാൽ ശോഭിക്കുന്ന പർവ്വതംപോലെ ദീപ്തനായി തിളങ്ങി.
Angada, the best of the Vanaras, adorned with arm lets resembled masses of rocks and shone like a mountain with metal streaks.
Dharma is supported by inner strength and steadfastness; the imagery signals moral firmness expressed as physical resolve in protecting the righteous side.
The text describes Aṅgada’s formidable appearance as he enters combat.
Steadfast power—unshakable presence in a just battle.
