Sāvitrī’s Report and Nārada’s Prognosis (सावित्र्याख्यान—सत्यवान्-गुणवर्णनं तथा अल्पायुषः पूर्वसूचना)
तस्य तत् सर्वमाचख्यौ भगिनी रामविक्रमम् । खरदूषणसंयुक्तं राक्षसानां पराभवम्,तब रावणकी बहिन शूर्पणखाने श्रीरामके उस पराक्रम और खर-दूषणसहित समस्त राक्षसोंके संहारका (सारा) वृत्तान्त कह सुनाया
tasya tat sarvam ācakhyau bhaginī rāma-vikramam | khara-dūṣaṇa-saṁyuktaṁ rākṣasānāṁ parābhavam ||
于是，罗波那之妹舒尔帕那卡将罗摩的英勇事迹尽数告知——连同迦罗与杜沙那在内，诸罗刹如何被彻底击溃、尽遭败亡。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a moral pattern: violence rooted in adharma and arrogance leads to downfall, while disciplined strength aligned with righteousness prevails. It also shows how reports of wrongdoing and its consequences can become the catalyst for further ethical choices—either repentance or escalation.
Śūrpaṇakhā, having suffered humiliation and loss, reports to Rāvaṇa the full story of Rāma’s heroism and the defeat of the rākṣasa forces led by Khara and Dūṣaṇa. This narration functions as a turning point that provokes Rāvaṇa’s response.
