रावण–रामयुद्धप्रारम्भः
The Intensification of the Rama–Ravana Duel
चेरतुश्चचिरंचित्रंमण्डलंसव्यदक्षिणम् ।बाणवेगात्समुत्क्षिप्तावन्योन्यमपराजितौ ।।6.100.26।।
ceratuś ca ciraṃ citraṃ maṇḍalaṃ savya-dakṣiṇam |
bāṇa-vegāt samutkṣiptāv anyonyam aparājitau ||6.100.26||
良久之间,两位不败的勇士以奇妙之势环行成圈,左旋右转;凭借箭矢的劲力与疾速,彼此逼迫、彼此击退。
Just as created beings fight at the end of the dissolution of the universe, like God of death and God of retribution, both were fighting discharging arrows which was frightening to all beings.
The verse underscores discipline and control in warfare—movement, timing, and restraint are part of righteous conduct, not mere aggression.
The duel becomes highly dynamic, with both combatants maneuvering in circular patterns while exchanging forceful shots.
Martial composure and technical mastery—sustained skill under danger.
