धूम्राक्षवधः
The Slaying of Dhumrākṣa
वानरैर्भीमविक्रान्स्सैराप्लुत्याऽप्लुत्यवेगितैः ।राक्षसाःकरजैस्तीक्ष्णैर्मुखेषुविनिर्तिताः ।।6.52.14।।
vānarair bhīmavikrāntaiḥ sair āplutyāplutya vegitaiḥ |
rākṣasāḥ karajais tīkṣṇair mukheṣu vinirtitāḥ || 6.52.14 ||
خوفناک پرتاپ والے وانر ویر تیزی سے بار بار اچھلتے ہوئے راکشسوں پر جھپٹے، اور اپنے تیز ناخنوں سے اُن کے چہروں کو نوچ کر زخمی کر دیا۔
The Vanaras with their terrific valour jumping up wounded the Rakshasas in their face with their sharp nails.
Dharma in wartime is action aligned with protection of the innocent and restoration of order; the verse shows vigorous resistance against violent aggressors.
Close-quarters fighting: vānara warriors use speed and natural weapons (claws) to injure rākṣasas.
Fearless initiative and agility—courage expressed through decisive action.
