ity evam uktvā tāṃ śaktim aṣṭaghaṇṭāṃ mahāsvanām | mayena māyāvihitām amoghāṃ śatrughātinīm || lakṣmaṇāya samuddiśya jvalantīm iva tejasā | rāvaṇaḥ paramakruddhaś cikṣepa ca nanāda ca ||
ครั้นกล่าวดังนั้นแล้ว ราวณะผู้เดือดดาลยิ่งนักก็ขว้างศักติอันไม่พลาดเป้า ผู้พิฆาตศัตรู ซึ่งมายาสร้างไว้ ติดระฆังแปดใบกึกก้อง มุ่งตรงไปยังพระลักษมณ์ เปล่งรัศมีดุจเพลิง และเขาก็คำรามเมื่อขว้างมัน
Enraged Ravana, having spoken in this manner, hurled the javelin adorned with eight bells making loud noise, designed magically by Maya, a stupendous one capable of destroying any enemy, which was glowing with shine, aiming at Lakshmana, and roared aloud.
FAQs
Unchecked krodha (anger) drives actions toward adharma: Rāvaṇa’s rage and reliance on a terrifying, magically empowered weapon exemplify power severed from righteousness and self-control.
Rāvaṇa, furious, targets Lakṣmaṇa and hurls a formidable, bell-adorned spear said to be magically fashioned by Maya.
By contrast (implicitly), the virtue highlighted is self-restraint: the verse shows what happens when leadership and strength are ruled by anger rather than dharma.
