Shloka 179

समन्तपञ्चक-आख्यानम् तथा अक्षौहिणी-प्रमाणनिर्णयः

Samantapañcaka Narrative and the Measure of an Akṣauhiṇī

यत्रास्य युद्धमभवत्‌ सुमहद्‌ राक्षसै: सह । यक्षैश्षैव महावीर्यर्मणिमत्प्रमुखैस्तथा,वहीं भीमसेनका राक्षसों एवं महाशक्तिशाली मणिमान्‌ आदि यक्षोंके साथ घमासान युद्ध हुआ

yatrāsya yuddham abhavat sumahad rākṣasaiḥ saha | yakṣaiś caiva mahāvīryair maṇimat-pramukhaiḥ tathā ||

Tại đó đã diễn ra một trận chiến vô cùng lớn đối với chàng—giao tranh với bọn Rākṣasa, và cả với các Yakṣa dũng lực, do Maṇimān cầm đầu. Cảnh ấy nhấn mạnh rằng sức mạnh phi thường và ý chí kiên định chỉ thật sự được thử thách khi đối diện những đối thủ hung bạo ngoài loài người; và lòng dũng cảm được đo bằng sự bền gan đứng vững giữa thế đối kháng áp đảo.
