พวกเขายังต่อสู้ด้วยกระบองเหล็กและคทา ด้วยหอกที่งามตา และเป็นร้อย ๆ ด้วยศตฆนี อาวุธเหล็ก และฆ้อนหนัก
Between the skilful Rakshasas armed with sharp tridents, swords, javelins in hand, with spears in hand, bright iron bars glowing like fire, with iron axes, dreadful hammers, Bhindi palas and Hanuman, with thunderbolt like fists that descended like lightning, and slaps which descended like mountains, a huge skillful war took place.
The verse implicitly raises the dharmic question of proportionality in force: overwhelming weaponry can signal a slide from righteous defense into destructive excess when driven by adharma.
The battlefield escalates as the rākṣasas bring varied iron weapons and heavy armaments into the fight.
Readiness and martial preparedness are emphasized—qualities that become virtuous only when aligned with a righteous cause.
