ताटकावधः
The Slaying of Tāṭakā
उद्धून्वाना रजो घोरं ताटका राघवावुभौ।रजोमोहेन महता मुहूर्तं सा व्यमोहयत्।।1.26.15।।
uddhūnvānā rajo ghoraṃ tāṭakā rāghavāv ubhau | rajomohena mahatā muhūrtaṃ sā vyamohayat ||1.26.15||
塔塔迦卷起可怖的尘沙,凭那强大的尘迷之幻,使两位罗伽婆一时迷乱。
Tataka raising a cloud of frightening dust left the descendants of Raghu bewildered quite for a moment.
Dharma is tested by confusion and fear; righteousness must remain steady even when adharma uses deceptive means.
Tāṭakā attempts to gain advantage by raising dust to disorient Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa.
The implied virtue is steadfastness—warriors aligned with dharma must recover composure quickly despite bewilderment.
