Shloka 6.34.8
सरमायाḥ सीतासान्त्वनम् तथा रावणनिश्चयश्रवणम् (Saarana Consoles Sita and Reports Ravana’s Resolve)
सहिमायाबलःक्रूरोरावणश्शत्रुरावणः ।मांमोहयतिदुष्टात्मापीतामात्रेववारुणी ।।।।
etasminn antare śabdo bherīśaṅkhasamākulaḥ |
śruto vānarasainyānāṃ kampayan dharaṇītalam ||
Just then, from the vānaras’ host there arose a tumultuous roar, thick with drums and conches, as though it shook the very face of the earth.
"Ravana has the power of conjuring tricks, makes enemies cry. He is cruel, evil minded and deluding me as though he has drunk liquor."
Dharma here is collective action in support of justice: the gathered forces signal a united stand against oppression.
As the conversation in Laṅkā continues, the approaching vānaras’ martial sounds are heard, indicating the battle’s momentum.
Courage and solidarity: the vānaras’ unified war-cry and instruments embody determined support for Rāma’s righteous mission.
