सागरस्येवमेवेगोमारुतस्येवमेगति: ।नहिदाशरथिर्वेदतेनमांयोद्धुमिच्छति ।।।।

rākṣasās tu plavaṅgānāṃ śuśruvuś cāpi garjitam |

nardatām iva dṛptānāṃ meghānām ambare svanam ||

Even the Rākṣasas heard the Vānaras’ roar—like the thunderous sound of proud clouds bellowing across the sky.

"I have the speed of the ocean and swiftness like the Wind-God. Rama does not know this and desires to wage war with me."

R
Rākṣasas
P
Plavaṅgas/Vanaras

Collective courage in a righteous cause is portrayed as a force that cannot be concealed; when Dharma is pursued with unity, its ‘voice’ becomes publicly evident even to adversaries.

As the Vanara army gathers near Laṅkā, their roaring reaches the city, and the Rākṣasas become aware of the approaching confrontation.

Fearless resolve and morale—an energized confidence that supports Dharma in the face of war.
