तेव्हा वानरांचा अधिपती महातेजस्वी सुग्रीव पर्वतासारखी विशाल व भयंकर शिला उचलून, त्याचा वध करण्याच्या हेतूने ती जोराने भिरकावली।
Endowed with great energy, Sugriva, the monkey Lord, seizing a huge mountain like dreadful rock, hurled to kill Mahodara.
Dharma in war is purposeful action: force is directed toward stopping an aggressor, not toward needless cruelty.
Sugrīva attacks Mahodara by throwing a massive rock.
Valor and resolve—Sugrīva acts decisively to protect his side.
