सागरप्रशमनम् / The Pacification of the Ocean and the Building of Nala’s Bridge
समूलांश्चविमूलांश्चपादपान् हरिसत्तमाः ।इन्द्रकेतूनिवोद्यम्यप्रजह्रूर्वानरास्तरून् ।।।।
samūlāṃś ca vimūlāṃś ca pādapān harisattamāḥ |
indraketūn ivodyamya prajahruḥ vānarās tarūn ||
بندروں کے سرداروں نے—کچھ درخت جڑ سمیت اور کچھ بے جڑ—اندرا کے علم بردار نیزوں کی مانند اٹھائے، اور اُن تنوں کو زور سے دے مارا۔
Lifting some trees with roots and some without roots like the staff of Indra's flag, Vanaras hurled down the trees into the sea.
Dharma is disciplined strength: power is not mere display, but directed toward a just objective under rightful leadership.
The vānaras uproot and lift trees and throw them down as construction material.
Śaurya (valor) combined with niyoga (purposeful assignment).
