اور یہ وہ ہے جو کمانوں، تلواروں اور تیروں کے انبوہ سے بھرے، عَلَم دار اور آگ کی طرح دہکتے رتھ پر سوار ہو کر بلند چمکتا ہے؛ وہی نارانتک ہے، جو پہاڑ کی چوٹیوں سے جنگ کرنے والا یودھا ہے۔
"There comes Nikumbha, studded with gold and diamonds, shining and smoky, who is the chief of Rakshasa army seizing an iron club, is capable of wonderful and terrific deeds."
It points to the terrifying scale of adharma-driven violence; dharma sets limits on force and condemns indiscriminate destruction.
Narāntaka is presented as a heavily armed chariot-warrior, famed for fighting with mountain-peaks.
Overwhelming martial power is emphasized, serving as a narrative counterpoint to dharmic restraint.
