खरवधः — The Slaying of Khara (Janasthana Battle Climax)
ततस्तु तं राक्षससङ्घमर्दनं सभाज्यमानं मुदितैर्महर्षिभिः।पुनः परिष्वज्य शशिप्रभानना बभूव हृष्टा जनकात्मजा तदा।।।।
yat tvayoktaṃ vinaṣṭānām aham aśru-pramārjanam | rākṣasānāṃ karomīti mithyā tad api te vacaḥ ||
As for what you declared—“I will wipe away the tears of the fallen rākṣasas”—even those words of yours have proved false.
Then the daughter of Janaka, cheerful Sita, who had a face bright like the moon, embraced Rama, destroyer of demons who was worshipped by the delighted sages.ityārṣē śrīmadrāmāyaṇē vālmīkīyē ādikāvyē araṇyakāṇḍē triṅśassargaḥ৷৷Thus ends the thirtieth sarga of Aranyakanda of the holy Ramayana the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
Satya (truthfulness) is upheld by exposing arrogant, cruel boasting as empty; dharma rejects false claims that glorify harm.
During the confrontation with the rākṣasas, Rāma rebukes an opponent’s earlier taunt, pointing out that events have contradicted it.
Rāma’s moral clarity and confidence: he confronts adharma not only with force but by unmasking falsehood.
