With his enemy slain, steadfast in his vow, and surrounded by his own people and army, he shone on the battlefield—Rāma, the delight of the kings of Raghu’s line, mighty in splendor—like Indra encompassed by the hosts of the gods.
Sri Rama, who was steadfast in his vow and endowed with great prowess, having killed his enemy, in the battle, stood, surrounded by his people and the army. Sri Rama the enhancer of joy of Raghus shone like Indra surrounded by host of gods.।। itayāraṣēvālamīkīyēśarīmadarāmāyaṇēādikāvayēyudadhakāṇaḍēēkādaśōtataraśatatamasasaragaḥ ।।This is the end of one hundred and eleventh sarga of Yuddha Kanda of the first epic the holy Ramayana composed by Sage Valmiki.
Satya and dharma are upheld through steadfastness to vows (pratijñā): righteous power is defined by disciplined commitment, not mere force.
In the immediate aftermath of victory, Rāma is depicted as radiant and supported by his community—signaling legitimate, dharmic triumph.
Pratijñā-pālana (keeping one’s vow) and kṣātra-tejas (noble martial splendor) under moral restraint.
