Shloka 6.5.3
सेनानिवेशः रामविलापश्च (Encampment on the Northern Shore; Rama’s Lament and Sandhyā)
निविष्टायांतुसेनायांतीरेनदनदीपतेः ।पार्श्वस्थंलक्ष्मणंदृष्टवारामोवचनमब्रवीत् ।।।।
niviṣṭāyāṃ tu senāyāṃ tīre nadanadīpateḥ |
pārśvasthaṃ lakṣmaṇaṃ dṛṣṭvā rāmo vacanam abravīt ||
When the army had taken its position on the shore of the ocean—the lord of rivers—Rāma, seeing Lakṣmaṇa standing at his side, spoke these words.
After the army had settled down on the shores of the lord of rivers (sea), Rama spoke to Lakshmana who stood beside him.
Dharma is shown as deliberation and rightful counsel before action: Rāma prepares to speak and guide the next step, implying that righteous action is preceded by thoughtful communication.
After the army encamps on the seashore, Rāma turns to Lakṣmaṇa beside him and begins to address him.
Rāma’s leadership through counsel and Lakṣmaṇa’s steadfast service—standing close, ready to receive instruction.
