विजित्य च रिपून् सर्वान् गुणान् प्राप्पसि पुष्कलान् | महेश्वरने कहा--राम! तुम मेरी आज्ञासे जाओ। निश्चय ही देवशत्रुओंका संहार करोगे। उन समस्त वैरियोंपर विजय पाकर प्रचुर गुण प्राप्त कर लोगे

Maheśvara sprach: „Rāma, geh auf meinen Befehl hin. Gewiss wirst du die Feinde der Götter vernichten; und nachdem du über all jene Widersacher gesiegt hast, wirst du reiche Tugenden und hohe Vortrefflichkeit erlangen.“

Educational Q&A
Victory undertaken under rightful divine injunction is framed not merely as conquest but as a means to acquire puṇya-like merit and guṇa—ethical excellence—linking martial success with moral cultivation and responsibility.
Maheśvara issues an authoritative command to proceed against enemies; he foretells certain victory and the consequent attainment of abundant virtues, presenting the coming conflict as divinely sanctioned and purpose-driven.
