अतिकायवधः
The Slaying of Atikāya
प्रहर्षयुक्ताबहवस्तुवानराःप्रबुद्दपद्मप्रतिमाननास्तदा ।अपूजयन्लक्ष्मणविष्टभागिनंहतेरिपौभीमबलेदुरासदे ।।।।
praharṣa-yuktā bahavas tu vānarāḥ prabuddha-padma-pratimānanās tadā |
apūjayan lakṣmaṇa-viṣṭa-bhāginaṁ hate ripau bhīma-bale durāsade ||
تب بہت سے وانر خوشی سے سرشار، کھلے ہوئے کنول جیسے چہروں والے، اس لیے لکشمن—جو اب مسرور تھے—کی تعظیم و تکریم کرنے لگے کہ ہولناک قوت والا، ناقابلِ رسائی دشمن مارا جا چکا تھا۔
Enemy who was difficult to approach and of terrible might being killed, the Vanaras were extremely delighted. Their faces looked like lotuses in bloom. Filled with joy they worshipped Lakshmana.
Gratitude and honoring righteous service: those who protect the community in a just cause deserve recognition and respect.
After Atikāya’s death, the vānaras rejoice and ceremonially honor Lakṣmaṇa.
Lakṣmaṇa’s service-minded heroism and the vānaras’ appreciative loyalty toward dharmic allies.
