मकराक्षवधः
The Slaying of Makarākṣa
सःतंदृष्टवाऽपतन्तंवैप्रहस्यरघुनन्दनः ।।।।पावकास्त्रंततोरामस्सन्दधेतुशरासने ।
saḥ taṁ dṛṣṭvā patantaṁ vai prahasya raghunandanaḥ | pāvakāstraṁ tato rāmaḥ sandadhe tu śarāsane ||
Nang makita siyang sumusugod, si Rama—ang ligaya ng angkan ni Raghu—ay ngumiti, at pagkatapos ay inilagay ang Apoy na misil sa kanyang pana.
Then Rama the beloved of Raghus, laughing at Maka raksha, fixed missile presided by fire god.
Dharma includes calm discernment: Rāma responds to violence without panic, choosing an effective means to end a threat and protect the righteous side.
As Makarākṣa advances, Rāma prepares a powerful divine weapon—the Fire-missile—on his bow.
Fearlessness and clarity of judgment in crisis.
