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||
Dia melihat kediaman raja Rākṣasa yang luas lagi indah, terbentang dengan jalinan kisi-kisi emas, memancar pada pandangan bagaikan sinar matahari pagi.
"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.
