nīce dayādhike spardhā, yathā-
kṣudrāḥ santrāsam enaṃ vijahitaharayo bhinna-śakrebha-kumbhā
yuṣmad-gātreṣu lajjāṃ dadhati paramam amī sāyakāḥ sampatantaḥ |
saumitre tiṣṭha pātraṃ tvam api na hi ruṣāṃ nanv ahaṃ meghanādaḥ
kiñcid bhrū-bhaṅga-līlā-niyamita-jaladhiṃ rāmam anveṣayāmi ||
Compassion towards the lowly and rivalry towards the superior, as in:
“Vile monkeys, whose heads have split the temples of Indra’s elephants, abandon this terror!
These arrows falling on your bodies bring only shame.
Son of Sumitrā, halt! You too are not a fit object for my wrath; truly, I am Meghanāda!
I seek Rāma, who curbed the ocean with a casual play of knitting his brows.”

atra prathamārdhe kṣudra-kapi-viṣaye dayā, uttarārdhe rāma-viṣayā spardhā cendrajitaḥ pratīyate | śaurye sattva-sāraḥ | utsāhaḥ sthairyam | dakṣatā kṣipra-kāritvam | eṣāṃ nāyaka-guṇa-nirūpaṇāvasara evodāharaṇāni darśitāni |
Here, in the first half, compassion toward the petty monkeys is understood, and in the second half, Indrajit's rivalry toward Rāma. In heroism is the essence of sattva. Energetic zeal is firmness. Competence is promptness in action. Illustrations of these have already been shown on the occasion of describing the hero’s qualities.
