Kuntī’s Regulated Hospitality to a Brāhmaṇa Guest
ते वध्यमाना हरिभि्बलिभिर्जितकाशिभि: । राक्षसा भग्नसंकल्पा लड़कामभ्यपतन् भयात्,विजयसे उललसित हुए बलवान् वानर वीरोंकी मार खाकर राक्षस हताश हो गये और भयके मारे लंकाकी ओर भाग चले
te vadhyamānā haribhir balibhir jitakāśibhiḥ | rākṣasā bhagnasaṅkalpā laṅkām abhyapatan bhayāt ||
Wika ni Mārkaṇḍeya: Nang masugatan at mapabagsak ng makapangyarihang mga mandirigmang Vānara—na napatunayan na ang kanilang tagumpay sa lakas—nawalan ng loob at nagkawatak-watak ang pasiya ng mga rākṣasa. Sa tindi ng takot, sila’y nagtakbuhang magulo patungong Laṅkā.
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
When inner resolve is rooted in unrighteousness or mere aggression, it breaks under pressure; disciplined strength and moral steadiness generate true victory, while fear follows those whose purpose collapses.
The rākṣasas are being beaten by powerful monkey-warriors; losing confidence and determination, they panic and flee toward Laṅkā.
