जम्बुमालिवधः
The Slaying of Jambumali
तत्तस्य रक्तं रक्तेन रञ्जितं शुशुभे मुखम्।यथाकाशे महापद्मं सिक्तं चन्दनबिन्दुभिः।।।।
tat tasya raktaṃ raktena rañjitaṃ śuśubhe mukham | yathākāśe mahā-padmaṃ siktaṃ candana-bindubhiḥ ||
Ang mukha niyang mapula, lalo pang pinula ng dugo, ay nagningning—gaya ng isang dakilang pulang lotus sa langit na winisikan ng mga patak ng pulang sandal paste.
His red face stained with blood was glowing bright like red lotus in the sky sprinkled with drops of red sandal.
Dharma is resilience: adversity may mark the body, yet the righteous purpose remains luminous and worthy.
The narration lingers on Hanuman’s appearance after being wounded, using elevated imagery to convey his heroic stature.
Śaurya with tejas—heroism combined with a radiant, unshaken presence.
