Then thousands of waves of the ocean, bearing crocodiles and makaras, surged up—like the peaks of Vindhya and Mandara.
(The shoulders) which resembled the coils of Takshaka (in chubbiness) a principal serpent, was graced by Sita while in bed, was bathed by the best of women with waters of Ganga.
The verse underscores the epic idea that moral confrontation produces visible upheaval; dharma is not abstract but manifests as decisive movement against resistance.
The sea rises in towering waves as Rāma’s confrontation with the ocean intensifies.
Rāma’s unyielding resolve is mirrored by the ocean’s dramatic response.
