ऐन्द्ररथप्रदानम्
Indra’s Chariot Offered to Rāma; The Duel Intensifies
तद्भभूवाद्भुतंयुद्धंतुमुलंरोमहर्षणम् ।रामस्य च महाबाहोरावणस्य च रक्षसः ।।।।
tadā bhavad adbhutaṁ yuddhaṁ tumulaṁ romaharṣaṇam | rāmasya ca mahābāho rāvaṇasya ca rakṣasaḥ ||
تب ایک عجیب و غریب جنگ برپا ہوئی—نہایت ہولناک اور رونگٹے کھڑے کر دینے والی—مہاباہو رام اور رाक्षس راون کے درمیان۔
Rama discharged dreadful shafts at Ravana's army in the forefront. Ravana ascended another chariot and went towards Rama, just as the planet Rahu moved towards the Sun.
Dharma here is the solemn gravity of righteous warfare: a decisive confrontation undertaken to restore moral order, not for cruelty or spectacle.
The text marks the intensity and extraordinary nature of the direct Rama–Ravana combat at its height.
Rama’s heroic steadiness (dhairya) in a fearsome trial, sustaining righteous purpose amid overwhelming violence.
