ഇരുവരുടെയും ഇടയിൽ തുല്യബലമായ, കാണുന്നവർക്കു രോമാഞ്ചം പകരുന്ന യുദ്ധം ഉദിച്ചു; ആകാശസ്ഥരായ ഭूतഗണങ്ങൾ ലക്ഷ്മണൻ ആക്രമണം തടയുന്നതു നോക്കി നിന്നു.
Effulgent Lakshmana, seeing the terrible Asura missile and deliberating that it is capable of destroying all human beings and difficult to repel, used a Maheswara missile to divert.
Dharma is reflected in steadfast defense: righteous battle is not mere aggression but protection—holding firm against destructive forces.
The duel reaches a dramatic equilibrium, drawing the attention of celestial beings who witness Lakshmaṇa’s successful defense.
Courage under awe-inspiring pressure—Lakshmaṇa’s steadiness amid a terrifying exchange.
