Adhyāya 290: Kuntī’s Mantra-Parīkṣā and the Appearance of Sūrya (कुन्ती–सूर्यसंवादः)
हरयो विविशुर्व्योम प्रगृह्ा महती: शिला: । वानरोंने देखा कि वह राक्षस छिपकर निरन्तर बाणोंकी झड़ी लगा रहा है, तब वे हाथोंमें बड़ी-बड़ी शिलाएँ लिये आकाशमें उड़ गये और उसकी खोज करने लगे
harayo viviśur vyoma pragṛhya mahatīḥ śilāḥ |
Mārkaṇḍeya disse: Os macacos, empunhando grandes rochas nas mãos, saltaram para o céu. Vendo o rākṣasa oculto, que continuava a despejar uma chuva incessante de flechas, alçaram voo para procurá-lo—respondendo à furtividade e à agressão com vigilância, esforço coletivo e ação decisiva.

Educational Q&A
When faced with concealed harm and relentless attack, one should respond with vigilance, coordinated effort, and appropriate strength—seeking the source of danger rather than reacting blindly.
The monkeys notice a rākṣasa attacking from concealment with a continuous volley of arrows; they lift large rocks and leap into the sky to locate and confront him.
