अकम्पनवधः — The Slaying of Akampana
Hanuman’s rout of the Rakshasa host
अचिन्तयित्वाबाणौघान् शरीरेपतितान्शितान् ।अकम्पनवधार्थायमनोदध्रेमहाबलः ।।6.56.12।।
acintayitvā bāṇaughān śarīre patitān śitān | akampanavadhārthāya mano dadhre mahābalaḥ ||
Sem dar atenção às saraivadas de flechas afiadas cravadas em seu corpo, o poderoso firmou a mente apenas em matar Akampana.
Mighty Hanuman unmindful of the volley of arrows pierced in his body thought in his mind only about the destruction of Akampana.
Dharma requires steadiness of purpose: pain and obstacles are borne when one’s aim is the protection of truth and the defeat of wrongdoing.
Hanumān is struck by many arrows, yet remains undistracted and concentrates on bringing down Akampana.
Fortitude and unwavering commitment to duty (kartavya-niṣṭhā).
