सानौ विशालायां

Answer 1

सानौ विशालायां == ‘on an expansive slab of stone’ (transl.)
सानु m., n. HERE FEMININE LOC SG सानौ विशालायां MOST LIKELY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE FOLLOWING FEM LOC SG निशि ‘at night’, SINCE सानु ITSELF IS NEVER FEMININE

Question 2

YUDDHA KĀṆḌAM
07.61 Anuṣṭubh (Śloka)
युवाभ्यां

Answer 2

युवाभ्यां == “FROM YOU TWAIN”, “FROM BOTH OF Y’ALL”
WHY IS THIS DUAL? DOES IT REFER SPECIFICALLY TO KUMBHAKARNA, WHO IS BEING ADDRESSED, AND HIS BROTHER RAVANA?
THE (transl.) HAS ‘from the Rakshasas’ (I.E. THEY REFUSE TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE)
IT’S KIND OF LIKE BOOK 9 OF THE ILIAD…
\
BUT SEE JUST BELOW IN #65 स हनिष्यति वः WHERE THE PLURAL ENCLITIC IS USED TO REFER TO “ALL THE DEMONS’
