युद्धाय रावणस्य निर्याणं तथा उत्पातदर्शनम्
Ravana’s Mobilization for War and the ظهور of Fatal Portents
विकृत्तशिरसःकेचिद्रावणेनवलीमुखाः ।केचिद्विच्छिन्नहृदयाःकेचिच्छ्रोत्रविवर्जिताः ।।6.96.42।।
vikṛtta-śirasaḥ kecid rāvaṇena valīmukhāḥ |
kecid vicchinna-hṛdayāḥ kecic chrotra-vivarjitāḥ ||6.96.42||
有些猴子被罗波那砍碎了头颅;有些被刺穿了心脏;还有些被割去了耳朵。
Some Vanaras ' heads were deformed, some were pierced in their hearts, and some had their ears cut off.
The verse foregrounds the human (and here, vānaras’) cost of adharma-driven war. Dharma is not abstract; it is measured by the suffering unleashed when violence is pursued without righteousness.
A graphic account of casualties among the vānaras caused by Rāvaṇa’s assault.
Endurance and sacrifice on the side resisting adharma are implied: the vānaras continue despite grievous injuries.
