कुम्भकर्णविबोधनम्
The Awakening of Kumbhakarna
वानरैःपर्वताकारैर्लङ्केयंपरिवारिता ।सीताहरणसन्तप्ताद्रामान्नस्तुमुलंभयम् ।।।।
vānaraiḥ parvatākārair laṅkeyaṃ parivartitā |sītāharaṇasantaptād rāmān nas tumulaṃ bhayam ||
“Ang Laṅkā na ito’y napaliligiran ng mga vānara na tila mga bundok ang anyo; at dahil sa pighating dulot ng pagdukot kay Sītā, isang mabagsik na takot mula kay Rāma ang sumibol sa atin.”
This Lanka is seized by a mountain like army of Vanaras. By the abduction of Sita, there is little fear from Rama.
Adharma creates inevitable consequences: the wrongful abduction of Sītā becomes the moral cause that brings righteous retaliation and collective danger upon Laṅkā.
A rākṣasa speaker reports Laṅkā’s strategic crisis—encircled by the vānaras—and links the looming peril directly to Sītā’s abduction and Rāma’s wrath.
Moral clarity: naming the true cause of danger rather than blaming fate or minimizing wrongdoing.
