शक्तिप्रहारः
Ravana’s Shakti Javelin and Lakshmana’s Wounding
रामरावणमुक्तानामन्योन्यमभिनिघ्नताम् ।।।।शराणां च शराणां च बभूवतुमुलःस्वनः ।
rāmarāvaṇamuktānām anyonyam abhinighnatām |
śarāṇāṃ ca śarāṇāṃ ca babhūva tumulaḥ svanaḥ ||
Nang ang mga palasong pinakawalan nina Rāma at Rāvaṇa ay nagsalpukan sa himpapawid, sumiklab ang isang napakalakas na ugong ng banggaan.
When the missile of Ravana was turned void by the great self-Raghava, Ravana's eyes turned red in anger, and he used a missile presided over by the Sun God.
The duel is portrayed as direct contest between principals—an ideal of yuddha-dharma where opponents meet each other’s force openly rather than harming the helpless.
The exchanged volleys collide, filling the battlefield with the thunder of arrow-on-arrow impacts.
Martial mastery and equality of engagement—each meets the other’s attack with skill.
