त्वं जितः कार्तवीर्येण रैणुकेयेन सोऽपि च । स रामो रामभद्रेण तस्य संख्ये कथं जयः
tvaṃ jitaḥ kārtavīryeṇa raiṇukeyena so'pi ca | sa rāmo rāmabhadreṇa tasya saṃkhye kathaṃ jayaḥ
ତୁମେ କାର୍ତ୍ତବୀର୍ୟ୍ୟ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପରାଜିତ ହେଲ, ଏବଂ ସେ ମଧ୍ୟ ରୈଣୁକେୟ ରାମ (ଜାମଦଗ୍ନ୍ୟ) ଦ୍ୱାରା ପରାଜିତ ହେଲା। ସେଇ ରାମ ମଧ୍ୟ ରାମଭଦ୍ର ଦ୍ୱାରା ଜିତାଗଲା; ତେଣୁ ଯୁଦ୍ଧରେ ତାହାର ଜୟ କିପରି ନିଶ୍ଚିତ?
Narrator (speaker not explicit in this verse; appears as argumentative speech within the episode)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) region context
Type: kshetra
Listener: Rāvaṇa (as interlocutor within the narrative frame)
Scene: A courtly debate scene: a challenger cites a chain of legendary defeats—Kārtavīrya, Paraśurāma, and Rāma—using it as a rhetorical spear to puncture certainty of victory.
Worldly power is unstable; pride in invincibility is misplaced because even great heroes face reversal under time and dharma.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse is part of an epic-historical reflection embedded in Revā Khaṇḍa.
None; it is a rhetorical argument rather than a ritual statement.
