ऐन्द्ररथप्रदानम्
Indra’s Chariot Offered to Rāma; The Duel Intensifies
तेतान्सर्वान् जघ्नुस्सर्परूपान्महाजवान् ।सुपर्णरूपारामस्यविशिखाःकामरूपिणः ।।।।
te tān sarvān jaghnuḥ sarparūpān mahājavān | suparṇarūpā rāmasya viśikhāḥ kāmarūpiṇaḥ ||
ते तान् सर्वान् जघ्नुः सर्परूपान् महाजवान् । सुपर्णरूपा रामस्य विशिखाः कामरूपिणः ॥
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.
