O Saumitri, look here—on the banks of Pampā are many lovely trees, in full blossom, entwined with creepers whose very tips are flowering.
'O Saumitri! look at the beauty of these numerous flowering trees on the banks of Pampa, entwining creepers with blooming tops.
Dharma appears as supportive companionship: Rāma shares perception with Lakṣmaṇa, strengthening their共同 resolve. Truthful, uplifting speech to one’s ally is part of righteous conduct in adversity.
Rāma directs Lakṣmaṇa’s attention to the flowering trees along Pampā, continuing the springtime scene-setting before their engagement with Kiṣkindhā’s events.
Fraternal leadership and care: Rāma includes Lakṣmaṇa, guiding his attention and sustaining morale.
