रावणस्य सभाप्रवेशः — रामस्य शरवृष्ट्या राक्षससेनाविनाशः
Ravana Enters Council; Rama’s Arrow-Storm Destroys the Rakshasa Host
तदागदाभिर्गुर्वीभिःप्रासैःखडगैःपरश्वधैः ।निर्जघ्नुर्वानरान्घोरान्राक्षसाःपर्वतोपमाः ।।।।
tadā gadābhir gurvībhiḥ prāsaiḥ khaḍgaiḥ paraśvadhaiḥ |
nirjaghnur vānarān ghorān rākṣasāḥ parvatopamāḥ ||
Noon, ang mga rākṣasa na kasinlaki ng mga bundok ay humampas at nagpabagsak sa mababangis na vānarā sa pamamagitan ng mabibigat na pamalo, mga sibat, mga tabak, at mga palakol.
Then the mountain-like forms of Rakshasas attacked the Vanaras with heavy maces, darts, swords, and axes in frightening ways.
It shows the escalation of violence when adharma resists correction; dharma requires protection of the righteous side, anticipating Rāma’s necessary intervention.
Rākṣasas counterattack fiercely with multiple weapons, inflicting heavy blows on the vānaras.
Readiness to protect allies is implied—when the righteous are endangered, leadership must respond decisively.
