प्रहस्तवधः
The Slaying of Prahasta
महताहिशरौघेणप्रहस्तोयुद्धकोविदः ।।।।अर्दयामाससङ्क्रुद्धोवानरान् परमाहवे ।
mahatā hi śaraughena prahasto yuddha-kovidaḥ | ardayāmāsa saṅkruddho vānarān paramāhave ||
ସେହି ମହାସଂଘର୍ଷରେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧକୋବିଦ ପ୍ରହସ୍ତ କ୍ରୋଧାନ୍ୱିତ ହୋଇ ଭାରୀ ଶରବୃଷ୍ଟିରେ ପରମ ଆହବରେ ବାନରମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦମନ କଲା।
In that major conflict, highly furious Prahastha, an expert in war tormented the Vanaras with a stream of arrows.
Skill without righteousness can magnify harm; dharma judges not only competence but also alignment with satya and just cause.
Prahasta escalates the fight, using sustained archery to batter the vānaras during the major engagement.
Yuddha-kauśala (martial expertise) is emphasized—though framed within the tragic destructiveness of war.
