युद्धलक्षण-निमित्तदर्शनं तथा लङ्काद्वारव्यूहः (War Omens and the Encirclement of Lanka’s Gates)
हन्तास्मित्वांसहामात्यंसपुत्रज्ञातिबान्धवम् ।निरुद्विग्नास्त्रयोलोकाभविष्यन्तिहतेत्वयि ।।6.41.80।।
tam evaṁ vādinam rāmaṁ sugrīvaḥ pratyabhāṣata ||6.41.8||
tava bhāryāpahartāraṁ dṛṣṭvā rāghava rāvaṇam | marṣayāmi kathaṁ vīra jānan pauruṣam ātmanaḥ ||6.41.9||
As Rama spoke thus, Sugriva replied: “O hero Raghava, having seen Ravana, the abductor of your wife—knowing my own manly strength—how could I possibly endure it?”
"You and your son's relatives and followers being killed (by me) the three worlds will be rid of fear of you."
Dharma as loyalty to a righteous ally: Sugriva cannot endure the injustice done to Rama and feels compelled to act in support of dharma.
Sugriva responds to Rama’s words in the war setting, expressing intolerance toward Ravana’s crime and readiness to retaliate.
Sugriva’s steadfast friendship and protective solidarity with Rama.
