त्रिशिरा-प्रबोधनम् तथा नरान्तक-वधः
Trisira’s Counsel and the Slaying of Naranthaka
शैलसङ्घातसङ्काशोहरीणामुत्तमोऽङ्गदः ।रराजाङ्गदसन्नद्धस्सधातुरिवपर्वतः ।।।।
śaila-saṅghāta-saṅkāśo harīṇām uttamo ’ṅgadaḥ | rarāja aṅgada-sannaddhaḥ sa-dhātur iva parvataḥ ||
Si Aṅgada, pinakadakila sa mga Vānara, ay tila bunton ng batuhan; at nang siya’y may suot na mga pulseras sa bisig, nagningning siyang gaya ng bundok na may guhit ng mineral.
Angada, the best of the Vanaras, adorned with arm lets resembled masses of rocks and shone like a mountain with metal streaks.
Dharma is supported by inner strength and steadfastness; the imagery signals moral firmness expressed as physical resolve in protecting the righteous side.
The text describes Aṅgada’s formidable appearance as he enters combat.
Steadfast power—unshakable presence in a just battle.
