rakṣasā tena bāṇaughair nikṛttā sā sahasradhā |
nipapāta śilā bhūmau gṛdhracakram ivākulam ||6.98.14||
त्या राक्षसाच्या बाणांच्या वर्षावाने ती शिला हजारो तुकड्यांत कापली गेली आणि गिधाडांच्या फिरत्या चक्रासारखी उधळत भूमीवर कोसळली।
That rock, struck by Mahodara fell on the ground shattered and broken into a thousand pieces.
The verse underscores consequences: every act in conflict produces rapid, irreversible results; Dharma urges foresight and restraint.
The rock hurled by Sugrīva is destroyed midair and falls in many pieces.
Technical prowess in battle (on Mahodara’s side), shown through decisive counteraction.
