लाङ्गूलदाह-पर्यटनम्
The Burning Tail and the Parade through Laṅkā
शङ्खभेरीनिनादैस्तं घोषयन्तः स्वकर्मभिः।राक्षसाः क्रूरकर्माणश्चारयन्ति स्म तां पुरीम्।।5.53.18।।
śaṅkhabherīninādais taṁ ghoṣayantaḥ svakarmabhiḥ | rākṣasāḥ krūrakarmāṇaś cārayanti sma tāṁ purīm ||5.53.18||
شَنگھ اور بھیر یوں کی گونج، اور ڈھولوں کی تھاپ کے ساتھ، اپنے اپنے کرتوتوں کا شور مچاتے ہوئے، سفّاک کردار راکشس اُس کو اُس پوری میں گھماتے پھرے۔
The cruel demons started blowing conches and beating drums. They paraded him in the city announcing their deeds.
Adharma is marked by cruelty and boastful celebration of wrongdoing; true righteousness does not require humiliating captives to inflate one’s pride.
The rākṣasas publicly parade Hanumān through the city with loud instruments, advertising their act as a triumph.
By contrast, Hanumān’s implied dignity under humiliation; and the rākṣasas’ vice of arrogance and cruelty.
