Educational Q&A

The verse highlights steadfast progress: crossing daunting obstacles and continuing forward until the objective is clearly seen. Implicitly it commends resolve and courage in the face of vast, intimidating realities.

Rāma passes beyond Mount Trikūṭa and the Kāla mountain and then beholds the great ocean, described as deep and as the habitat of makaras.
