Shloka 2.4.5
अयोध्याकाण्डे चतुर्थः सर्गः — Rāma Summoned; Pushya Coronation Decision
द्वार्स्थैरावेदितं तस्य रामायाऽऽगमनं पुनः।श्रुत्वैव चापि रामस्तं प्राप्तं शङ्कान्वितोऽभवत्।।2.4.5।।
dvārasthair āveditaṃ tasya rāmāyāgamanaṃ punaḥ | śrutvaiva cāpi rāmas taṃ prāptaṃ śaṅkānvito 'bhavat ||2.4.5||
The door-keepers reported to Rāma that he (Sumantra) had arrived again. The moment Rāma heard that he had come back, he was filled with apprehension.
The door-keepers informed Rama of Sumantra's arrival. As soon as he learnt that Sumantra was back again, Rama was filled with apprehensions.
Dharma here is vigilance and moral seriousness: Rāma senses that repeated summons from the palace likely involve weighty duty, and he prepares inwardly to respond rightly rather than casually.
Sumantra has returned again, and the palace doorkeepers inform Rāma; hearing this unexpected return, Rāma becomes anxious about what it may signify.
Rāma’s conscientiousness: he is alert to the gravity of royal matters and anticipates responsibility rather than ignoring warning signs.
