Rāma saw the enemy’s chariot rushing in, releasing streams of arrows like a rain-cloud pouring down sheets of water—cloudlike in its mass and onrush.
The chariot bells fixed to the huge flag post were making sounds, yoked to dark horses, and was shining with splendor with rage. It was glowing like a bright sun in the sky displaying its splendor, like the aerial chariot. It looked like a cloud holding water, releasing water of arrows from Rakshasa king's bow. The king of humans saw this chariot.
Courage under assault: dharma in battle includes not yielding to fear when attacked unjustly and overwhelmingly.
Rāvaṇa advances while showering arrows; Rāma assesses the threat in the midst of combat.
Fearlessness and situational awareness—Rāma recognizes the danger without panic.
