ऐन्द्ररथप्रदानम्
Indra’s Chariot Offered to Rāma; The Duel Intensifies
तेतान्सर्वान् जघ्नुस्सर्परूपान्महाजवान् ।सुपर्णरूपारामस्यविशिखाःकामरूपिणः ।।।।
te tān sarvān jaghnuḥ sarparūpān mahājavān | suparṇarūpā rāmasya viśikhāḥ kāmarūpiṇaḥ ||
As flechas velozes de Rāma—assumindo a forma de Suparṇa e mudando de aspecto à vontade—abateram todos os que haviam tomado forma de serpente.
Those shafts of Rama in the form of eagles which could change their form at will, destroyed the serpent forms and they flew at great speed.
Truth-aligned force prevails when guided by knowledge and right intent; dharma is effective not merely by power, but by rightful application.
Rama’s Garuḍa-formed arrows rapidly eliminate the serpent-manifestations produced by Ravana’s weapon.
Decisiveness and mastery—Rama’s ability to adapt swiftly while remaining anchored in righteous purpose.
