उत्पातदर्शनं खरसैन्यसमागमश्च (Omens of calamity and the approach of Khara’s army)
आविष्टं तेजसा रामं सङ्ग्रामशिरसि स्थितम्।दृष्ट्वा सर्वाणि भूतानि भयाद्विव्यथिरे तदा।।।।
iti rājarṣayaḥ siddhāḥ sagaṇāś ca dvijarṣabhāḥ |
jātakautūhalās tasthur vimānasthāś ca devatāḥ ||
Thus spoke the royal seers, the siddhas, and the foremost of brahmins with their retinues; and the gods, stationed in their aerial chariots, stood waiting—curiosity awakened—to witness what would happen.
Seeing Rama standing on the war front, engrossed and radiating heroic lustre, all beings were alarmed.
Dharma is portrayed as publicly accountable: righteous action is witnessed by sages and gods, affirming a moral cosmos where deeds matter.
Before the battle, celestial beings gather in the sky to observe the confrontation between Rāma and the rākṣasa forces.
Not a single character’s trait, but the epic theme that dharmic struggle draws the attention of the entire moral universe.
