sa rāvaṇaṃ vāraṇahastabāhuṃ dadarśa bhīmodyatadīptacāpam | pracchādayantaṃ śaravṛṣṭijālais tān vānarān bhinnavikīrṇadehān ||6.59.52||
اس نے راون کو دیکھا—ہاتھی کی سونڈ جیسے بازوؤں والا، ہیبت ناک انداز میں روشن کمان اٹھائے ہوئے—جو تیروں کی بارش کے جال سے میدان کو ڈھانپ رہا تھا، اور وہ وانر جن کے بدن ٹوٹ پھوٹ کر بکھر گئے تھے، چاروں طرف پڑے تھے۔
He saw Ravana, endowed with round shoulders like elephant trunks, with fierce bow glowing and the broken bodies of Vanaras spread all over. Ravana was showering nets of arrows and instigating vanaras.
The verse frames adharma through destructive aggression: overwhelming force used to break and scatter others, setting the stage for righteous resistance.
A combat scene: Ravana dominates the battlefield with intense archery, leaving vanara warriors wounded and scattered.
By contrast, it highlights the need for courageous protection of allies—prompting the hero to intervene against tyranny.
