After paying homage to that brāhmaṇa who was staying in the fire-sanctuary, Lakṣmaṇa said, “My friend, come—see the residence of Rāma, the accomplisher of difficult deeds.”

He first offers respectful salutation to the brāhmaṇa, reflecting dharma as reverence to the learned and to sacred ritual space before speaking or acting.

By calling Rāma “duṣkarakāriṇ” (one who accomplishes difficult deeds), Lakṣmaṇa points to Rāma’s steadfast, truth-aligned resolve—his ability to uphold commitments even when they are hard.
