युद्धकाण्डे त्रिपञ्चाशः सर्गः — धूम्राक्षवधश्रवणं, वज्रदंष्ट्रप्रेषणं, अङ्गद-राक्षसयुद्धम्
Ravana Dispatches Vajradamshtra; Portents and Angada’s Assault
बलवन्तोऽस्त्रविदुषोनानाप्रहरणारणे ।जघ्नुर्वानरसैन्यानिराक्षसाःक्रोधमूर्छिताः ।।।।
balavanto 'straviduṣo nānāpraharaṇā raṇe |
jaghnur vānarasainyāni rākṣasāḥ krodhamūrchitāḥ ||
Những La-sát lực lưỡng, tinh thông binh khí, mang đủ loại vũ khí phóng ném, vì cơn giận mà cuồng loạn, đã trong trận chiến đánh ngã các đạo quân Vānara.
Vajradamshtra went about in the battle striking Vanaras just like death goes with a noose for destruction of the world.
Anger that overwhelms discernment (krodhamūrchā) is presented as a cause of indiscriminate harm. Dharma calls for controlled strength and accountability, not rage-driven slaughter.
The Rākṣasa fighters, empowered by skill and weapons, press hard against the Vānara ranks and inflict heavy casualties.
Technical skill (astra-vidyā) is acknowledged, but the verse stresses the moral failure of anger-clouded action.
