Translation:

Hanuman looking at Aksha Kumara, the son of Mandodari, estimated to be equal to Ravana in

strength but knows that he forms one third of the trio namely Ravana, Indrajit, Aksha.

 

Explanatory Notes:

Hanuman after annihilating one third of Ravana's army now readies himself to kill Aksha who is

known for his physical strength, because of boons & by weapons. All this is denoted by the words

" hi " and in the shloka.

 

nidhArya eva rAvaNaH sa rAghavasya nAnyathA |

yadIndrajinmayA hato na chAsya shaktirIxyate || 7-27||

 

atastayoH samo mayA tR^itIya eshha hanyate |

vichArya chaivamAshu taM padoH pragR^ihya pupluve || 7-28||

 

Word to word meaning:

sa nidhArya: He (Hanuman) decided that

rAvaNaH = Ravana

Word to word meaning:

ataH = Therefore

EshaH = this fellow (Aksha Kumara)

tayo samaH = who is equal to the other two

hanyate = is to be killed

mayA = by me

vichArya = having reasoned

evaM = in this manner

pragR^ihya = catching hold of

taM = him

padoH = by his two feet, he

pupluve = rose high into the sky

 

Translation:

Although all the three are to be killed, Hanuman after giving a thought as to whom to kill first

reasoned out thus. Ravana should not be killed since Sri Rama is to kill him. Indrajit also is to be

spared for the time being since his dexteritty in wielding the weapons is to be seen & appreciated

by other vanaras. So, the only person to be killed by him is Aksha.

 

Explanatory Notes:

Although Hanuman could kill all the three easily he did not do so; and spared Ravaa to Sri Rama,

Indrajit to Lakshmana. Aksha, for him to kill. At once Hanuman caught hold of his feet & heaped to

a high altitude inspite of Aksha continuously raining arrows on Hanuman. Thus Aksha could

neither save himself nor harm Hanuman in any manner.
