udvartitamahāgrāhaḥ saṃvṛttaḥ salilāśayaḥ ||6.21.32||

The watery expanse became a tumult: its mass of waves whirled, nāgas and rākṣasas were thrown into confusion, and great crocodiles were churned up and cast about.

The shoulders were long like the union of Yugas, which brought grief to the enemies in war and delight to the friends, and like the earth bound by the ocean on all sides.

O
Ocean/Sea (Salilāśaya)
N
Nāgas/Uragas
R
Rākṣasas
G
Grāha (crocodiles)

When rightful duty meets delay or denial, disorder intensifies until a path is made—suggesting that dharma ultimately compels resolution rather than stagnation.

The sea turns violent; beings within it and beneath it are disturbed and thrown about by the churning waters.

Moral seriousness: Rāma’s purpose is so firm that the environment reflects the urgency of justice.
