असुरैर्वध्यमाने तु पावकैरिव काननम् । अपतद्दावभूमिष्ठ महाद्रुमवनं यथा
asurairvadhyamāne tu pāvakairiva kānanam | apataddāvabhūmiṣṭha mahādrumavanaṃ yathā
Habang sila ay pinapaslang ng mga Asura, sila ay bumagsak na parang kagubatang nilalamon ng apoy, tulad ng malalaking punongkahoy na bumabagsak sa lupa sa gitna ng sunog.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) [deduced]
Scene: Warriors fall in heaps as if a great forest of tall trees collapses under a raging wildfire; flames implied through color and motion, bodies like felled trunks.
The verse underscores the fragility of embodied power; without divine protection and dharma, even the ‘mighty trees’ of an army can fall at once.
