Rāma, stung by the outrage and letting righteous wrath sharpen his steadfast resolve, took up in battle Indra’s bow, endowed with tremendous speed and force.
Delighted charioteer drove the chariot of Ravana with speed. It was of the shape of the abode of Gandharvas, capable of destroying enemy's army. It had rows of excellent flags, richly endowed, like the best piece of artwork. It was fixed with flag posts in rows touching the sky and filling space. It was yoked to excellent horses adorned with gold chains and equipped with implements for war. The earth was resounding as it was driven as if to crush the enemy's army and its own army was happy.
Dharma allows controlled force: anger is not celebrated, but disciplined and redirected into steadfast duty for the protection of righteousness.
At the height of the conflict, Rāma responds to the enemy’s assault by arming himself with a divine bow for the decisive engagement.
Fortitude with restraint—Rāma’s capacity to convert emotion into focused, duty-bound action.
