कुम्भकर्णवधः
The Slaying of Kumbhakarna
क्रोधरक्तेक्षणोवीरोनिर्दहन्निवचक्षुषा ।।।।राघवोराक्षसंरोषाभिदुद्राववेगितः ।यूथपान्हर्षयन्सर्वान्कुम्भकर्णभयार्दितान् ।।।।
krodharakteṣaṇo vīro nirdahann iva cakṣuṣā | rāghavo rākṣasaṁ roṣābhidudrāva vegitaḥ | yūthapān harṣayan sarvān kumbhakarṇabhayārditān ||
కోపంతో ఎర్రబడిన కళ్లతో ఆ వీర రాఘవుడు చూపుతోనే దహించునట్లు, మహావేగంతో రాక్షసునిపై దూసుకెళ్లాడు; కుంభకర్ణ భయంతో కలవరపడిన సమస్త యూథపతులను ఆయన ఉత్సాహపరిచాడు.
Raghava's eyes turned red with anger, went quickly in anger as monkeys and troop leaders oppressed by Kumbhakarna were rejoiced.
A Dharmic leader does not merely fight; he restores morale and protects the fearful, turning panic into purposeful action.
Rama charges the enemy (contextually Kumbhakarna) and simultaneously encourages the Vanara commanders who are distressed.
Leadership through courage—fearlessness paired with the capacity to uplift others.
