Shloka 6.44.18
चतुश्चत्वारिंशः सर्गः (Sarga 44): निशायुद्धम्, धूलिरुधिरप्रवाहः, इन्द्रजितो मायायुद्धम्
तेषामापततांशब्दःक्रुद्धानामपिगर्जताम् ।।।।उद्वर्तइवसत्त्व, नांसमुद्राणांप्रशुश्रुवे ।
tatas te rākṣasās tatra tasmiṃs tamasi dāruṇe | rāmam evābhyavartanta saṃhṛṣṭāḥ śaravṛṣṭibhiḥ ||
After that, in the dreadful darkness of night, those Rākṣasas—exultant—rushed upon Rāma himself, showering him with volleys of arrows.
The thundering noise of the angry Rakshasas rushing towards Rama was like the seven seas rising to flow into the ocean.
Dharma is implied through steadfastness under assault: righteousness is tested when darkness and fear intensify, yet the dhārmic hero stands firm rather than retaliating with panic or cruelty.
In the night-battle, Rākṣasas concentrate their attack directly on Rāma, attempting to overwhelm him by massed arrow-fire.
Rāma’s fearlessness and composure (dhairya) are highlighted by the very fact that enemies focus on him as the decisive target.
