Shloka 5.27.21

त्रिजटास्वप्नवर्णनम् (Trijata’s Dream-Omens and the Rakshasis’ Reversal)

न हि रामो महातेजाश्शक्यो जेतुं सुरासुरैः।राक्षसैर्वापि चान्यैर्वा स्वर्गः पापजनैरिव।।5.27.21।।

na hi rāmo mahātejāśśakyo jetuṃ surāsuraiḥ | rākṣasairvāpi cānyairvā svargaḥ pāpajanairiva ||

Indeed, the highly resplendent Rāma cannot be conquered by gods, asuras, rākṣasas, or any others, just as heaven cannot be attained by sinners.

"Just as a sinner cannot attain heaven Rama cannot be won by gods or demons, even rakshasas and others.

Rama's invincibility against enemies is compared to the inaccessibility of Heaven (Svarga) for sinners (Papajanas).

It represents the turning of the tide where Trijata warns the tormenting Rakshasis of the inevitable victory of Dharma (Rama) over Adharma, reinforcing that ethical conduct determines victory.
