लक्ष्मण-प्राणरक्षा: (Lakshmana’s Revival by the Herb-Mountain)
अवसीदन्तिगात्राणिस्वप्नयानेनृणामिव ।चिन्तामेवर्ततेतीव्रामुमूर्षापि च जायते ।।।।
na jīvan yāsyate śatrus tava bāṇapathaṃ gataḥ |
nardatas tīkṣṇadaṃṣṭrasya siṃhasyeva mahāgajaḥ ||
No enemy who has entered the path of your arrows will escape alive—just as a great elephant cannot live when caught by a roaring lion with sharp fangs.
'Seeing Lakshmana in this state, just as in dream, my limbs are retrieving while walking, being on the point of death intense sorrow is growing and the desire to live is gone.'
Righteous power should be used decisively against adharma; the verse morally reinforces confidence that dharmic action will prevail.
Rāma is being encouraged with a martial simile to restore his confidence and press the battle against Rāvaṇa.
Valor aligned with justice—courage that serves a righteous end rather than aggression for its own sake.
