रोषस्य हि वशं गत्वा दशग्रीव: प्रतापवान् | तथा शक्रप्रतिस्पर्धी हतो रामेण संयुगे,इन्द्रसे भी टक्कर लेनेवाला प्रतापी दशानन रावण रोषके ही अधीन होकर युद्धमें श्रीरामचन्द्रजीके हाथसे मारा गया
roṣasya hi vaśaṁ gatvā daśagrīvaḥ pratāpavān | tathā śakra-pratispardhī hato rāmeṇa saṁyuge ||
کیونکہ غصّے کے قبضے میں آ کر، شکر (اندَر) سے بھی ٹکر لینے والا پرتابی دَشگریو راون جنگ میں رام کے ہاتھوں مارا گیا۔
नाग उवाच
Even extraordinary power and heroism cannot protect one who becomes ruled by anger; wrath clouds judgment, fuels reckless action, and leads to ruin.
Nāga cites the well-known example of Rāvaṇa (Daśagrīva), famed for his might and for challenging even Indra, who nevertheless was killed by Rāma in battle because he acted under the domination of anger.
