मकराक्षवधः
The Slaying of Makarākṣa
सच्छन्नोनैकथाशूलोदिव्यहाटकमण्डितः ।।।।व्यशीर्यतमहोल्केवरामबाणार्दितोभुवि ।
sacchanno naikathā śūlo divya-hāṭaka-maṇḍitaḥ | vyaśīryata maholkeva rāma-bāṇārdito bhuvi ||
رام کے تیروں سے زخمی ہو کر وہ دیوی سونے سے آراستہ نیزہ کئی ٹکڑوں میں بکھر گیا اور ایک عظیم دہکتی انگارے کی لکڑی کی طرح ٹوٹ کر زمین پر آ گرا۔
That pike, which was decorated with gold, broke into pieces, and fell down like fire sticks by the many supreme arrows of Rama.
Dharma is the triumph of disciplined righteousness over violent aggression: destructive intent is stopped before it can harm the innocent.
After Rāma cuts the incoming pike, it breaks into fragments and falls harmlessly to the ground.
Composure under threat: Rāma’s steady skill turns danger into harmless debris.
