आयसैः परिघैः पूर्णं क्षेपणीयैश्च मुद्गरैः । प्रासैः पाशैश्च विततैरसंयुक्तैश्च कण्टकैः
āyasaiḥ parighaiḥ pūrṇaṃ kṣepaṇīyaiśca mudgaraiḥ | prāsaiḥ pāśaiśca vitatairasaṃyuktaiśca kaṇṭakaiḥ
ภายในเต็มไปด้วยท่อนเหล็กและค้อนกระบองที่ขว้างได้ มีหอก มีบ่วงที่แผ่กว้าง และมีหนามแหลมตั้งรายรอบ
Unspecified (verse excerpt; surrounding dialogue context needed to confirm)
Concept: Violence multiplies by accumulation; the verse warns how adharma armors itself with many instruments—bars, mallets, spears, nooses, spikes.
Application: Notice how harmful habits ‘arm’ themselves with many supports (excuses, triggers, tools). Disarm systematically—remove one support at a time.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: क्षेपणीयैश्च = क्षेपणीयैः + च (सन्धिः). पाशैश्च = पाशैः + च. विततैरसंयुक्तैश्च = विततैः + असंयुक्तैः + च (सन्धि-विच्छेद).
A fortified or perilous space is being depicted as packed with weapons—iron bars, throwable mallets, spears, nooses, and spikes—emphasizing danger and inaccessibility.
Parigha refers to an iron bar/bolt or heavy club; mudgara is a mallet or mace; prāsa is a spear or javelin; and pāśa is a noose or snare—together forming a catalogue of weapons.
The imagery commonly functions as a warning about violent, obstructive, or fearsome conditions (literal or symbolic), underscoring the peril of hostile spaces and the need for restraint and discernment.
