चतुश्चत्वारिंशः सर्गः (Sarga 44): निशायुद्धम्, धूलिरुधिरप्रवाहः, इन्द्रजितो मायायुद्धम्
हतानांस्तनमानानांराक्षसानांचनिःस्वनः ।।।।शस्तानांवानराणांचसम्बभूवातिदारुणः ।
hatānāṃ stanamānānāṃ rākṣasānāṃ ca niḥsvanaḥ |
śastānāṃ vānarāṇāṃ ca sambabhūvātidāruṇaḥ ||6.44.13||
مارے گئے راکشسوں کی چیخ و پکار اور کراہ، اور زخمی وانروں کی آہ و فغاں—یہ سب مل کر نہایت ہی ہولناک غرج بن گئے۔
There from the battlefield arose the roaring sounds of wounded and appeased Rakshasas and Vanaras.
The verse invites compassion and restraint: suffering is shared across sides, reminding that dharma-driven action must not become delight in others’ pain.
The narrator reports the terrifying soundscape of the wounded and dying on both sides.
Karunā (compassion) as an implied virtue: even amid necessary conflict, the righteous remain aware of the tragedy of harm.
