Rama is his name—of great radiance, foremost among all archers; endowed with the virtues of divine weapons, he is Indra’s equal in battle.
Rama is his name. He looks very radiant. He is the best among the archers. Owner of divine weapons, he is comparable to Indra in war.
Dharma is associated with tejas (moral-spiritual radiance) and disciplined mastery: the ideal warrior’s excellence is not random power but trained, principled capability that supports truth and protection.
Akampana intensifies his description of Rama to convey why the rakshasa forces were overwhelmed—Rama is peerless among archers and formidable in battle.
Tejas with skill: Rama’s radiant authority and expert command of weapons, directed toward righteous ends.
