श्रीमद्रामायणकथासङ्क्षेपः / The Ramayana in Synopsis
Narada’s Summary to Valmiki
ततश्शूर्पणखावाक्यादुद्युक्तान्सर्वराक्षसान् ।खरं त्रिशिरसं चैव दूषणं चैव राक्षसम् ।।।।निजघान वने रामस्तेषां चैव पदानुगान् ।
tataḥ śūrpaṇakhāvākyād udyuktān sarvarākṣasān | kharaṃ triśirasaṃ caiva dūṣaṇaṃ caiva rākṣasam | nijaghāna vane rāmas teṣāṃ caiva padānugān || 1.1.47 ||
Pagkatapos noon, udyok ng mga salita ni Śūrpaṇakhā, ang mga rākṣasa ay bumangon para sa labanan; sa kagubatang iyon, pinabagsak ni Rāma sina Khara, Triśiras, Dūṣaṇa, at ang kanilang mga tagasunod.
Thereafter Rama killed in the fight all the rakshasas, Khara, Trisira, and Dushana with their followers in a battle who were instigated by Surpanakha's words.
Force is employed as a last-resort instrument of dharma: violence used to stop violence and restore safety for sages and the innocent.
After Śūrpaṇakhā incites them, Khara and other rākṣasas attack; Rāma defeats them along with their retinue.
Courage aligned with restraint—Rāma fights not for conquest but to neutralize a threat to dharmic order.
