其时,大门震颤,屋舍与门楼崩裂;夜中为恐惧所扰的楞迦,仿佛在舞动般战栗摇晃。
Then the mighty gates of Lanka shaking, homes shattered, stricken with fear that night it seemed Lanka was dancing.
Adharma, when confronted by righteous force, becomes unstable and fearful; the imagery of Laṅkā shaking underscores that wrongdoing cannot remain secure when Dharma advances.
In the night-time turmoil at Laṅkā, the city’s fortifications and buildings shake and break, indicating a powerful disturbance caused by the vānaras’ actions—especially Hanumān’s might.
Hanumān’s awe-inspiring strength (vīrya) is implied—his power is so great that the entire city appears to tremble.
