Angada’s Duel
वानराश्चापिरक्षस्सुगिरवृक्षान्महाशिलाः ।प्रवीराःपातयामासुर्मत्तमातङ्गसन्निभाः ।।6.54.6।।
vānarāś cāpi rakṣaḥsu giri-vṛkṣān mahā-śilāḥ |
pravīrāḥ pātayāmāsur matta-mātaṅga-sannibhāḥ ||6.54.6||
Ang mga magigiting na kampeon ng vānara—na tulad ng nagngangalit na mga elepanteng may musth—ay nagpaulan din ng mga punò, mga batong-bundok, at malalaking tipak ng bato sa mga rākṣasa.
Deluded with fear, the Rakshasas seeing Vajradamshtra killed by monkeys, panic stricken, heads bent in shame, faces woebegone fled to Lanka.
Dharma in wartime includes resolute resistance against oppressive force; the vānara response shows determined protection of their righteous objective.
The vānara warriors counterattack powerfully, using natural weapons—trees and rocks—against the rākṣasas.
Vīrya (valor/strength) joined with commitment to the cause.
