विज्ञापनम् / Dadhimukha Reports the Madhuvana Incident
अङ्गदप्रमुखैर्वीरैर्हतं मधुवनं किल।।5.63.20।।वारयन्तश्च सहितास्तदा जानुभिराहताः।
aṅgadapramukhair vīrair hataṃ madhuvanaṃ kila | vārayantaś ca sahitās tadā jānubhir āhatāḥ ||
کہا جاتا ہے کہ انگد کی قیادت میں اُن بہادر ویر وानروں نے مدھوون کو تہس نہس کر دیا؛ اور جب پہرے داروں نے مل کر روکنا چاہا تو وہ گھٹنوں کی ضرب سے گرا دیے گئے۔
Dharma includes accountability: even allies must report excesses truthfully, and force used against rightful guardians raises questions requiring just review.
Dadhimukha reports that Aṅgada’s party devastated Madhuvana and assaulted those who attempted to stop them.
Truthful testimony—Dadhimukha narrates events plainly despite the offenders’ prominence.
