मन्थराप्रेरणा—वरद्वय-स्मरणं च
Manthara’s Provocation and the Recalling of Two Boons
तत्राकरोन्महद्युद्धं राजा दशरथस्तदा।असुरैश्च महाबाहुश्शस्त्रैश्च शकलीकृतः।।।।
tatrākaron mahad yuddhaṃ rājā daśarathas tadā | asuraiś ca mahābāhuḥ śastraiś ca śakalīkṛtaḥ ||
وہیں اُس وقت راجا دشرَتھ نے سخت جنگ کی؛ مگر مہاباہو راجا اسوروں کے ہتھیاروں سے کٹ کر چور چور ہو گیا۔
In that great battle, the rakshasas used to kill by force the warriors wounded by the weapons and those fast asleep during the night.
It reflects kṣatriya-dharma: the king accepts peril in defense of order and alliance, even at great personal cost.
Mantharā recounts Daśaratha’s severe wounding during the divine-asura conflict.
Valor and endurance—standing in battle despite overwhelming harm.
