ସେତେବେଳେ ମହାଦ୍ୱାରଗୁଡ଼ିକ କମ୍ପିତ, ଘର ଓ ଗୋପୁରଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଭଙ୍ଗିପଡ଼ିଥିବା; ରାତିରେ ଭୟରେ ଆକୁଳ ଲଙ୍କା ମନେ ହେଲା ଯେପରି ନାଚୁଛି ଓ କମ୍ପୁଛି।
Then the mighty gates of Lanka shaking, homes shattered, stricken with fear that night it seemed Lanka was dancing.
Adharma, when confronted by righteous force, becomes unstable and fearful; the imagery of Laṅkā shaking underscores that wrongdoing cannot remain secure when Dharma advances.
In the night-time turmoil at Laṅkā, the city’s fortifications and buildings shake and break, indicating a powerful disturbance caused by the vānaras’ actions—especially Hanumān’s might.
Hanumān’s awe-inspiring strength (vīrya) is implied—his power is so great that the entire city appears to tremble.
