कुम्भकर्णस्य प्रबोधनम्
The Awakening and Commissioning of Kumbhakarna
स हेमजालविततंभानुभास्वरदर्शनम् ।ददर्शविपुलंरम्यंराक्षसेन्द्रनिवेशनम् ।।6.62.3।।
sa hemajāla-vitatam bhānubhāsvara-darśanam |
dadarśa vipulaṁ ramyaṁ rākṣasendra-niveśanam ||6.62.3||
त्याने सुवर्णजाळ्यांनी विस्तीर्ण, प्रभातसूर्यासारखे तेजस्वी, विशाल व रम्य असे राक्षसेन्द्राचे निवासस्थान पाहिले.
"O broad shouldered brother! Do this task which is difficult for others. O Scourge of enemies! I have not asked you before for such a task."
The verse is primarily descriptive, but it frames the moral contrast of the epic: outward splendor and power can mask inner adharma; Dharma judges by conduct, not grandeur.
Kumbhakarṇa arrives and looks upon the magnificent royal residence of Rāvaṇa in Laṅkā.
Not a direct virtue statement; the emphasis is on setting—royal majesty—preparing for choices that will test loyalty and righteousness.
