yau tāv indrajitā yuddhe bhrātarau rāma-lakṣmaṇau | nibaddhau śara-bandhena niṣprakampa-bhujau kṛtau ||6.51.12||
vimuktau śara-bandhena dṛśyete tau raṇājire | pāśān iva gajau chitvā gajendra-sama-vikramau ||6.51.13||
“Those two brothers, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa—whom Indrajit bound in battle with a snare of arrows, rendering their arms immobile—are now seen freed upon the battlefield. Like elephants that have snapped their ropes, they stand with the might of lordly tuskers.”
"The two brothers, Rama and Lakshmana, who are like powerful elephants have been set free from the bondage of arrows of Indrajith in the battlefield. Their shoulders are relieved and are like elephants snapped off the rope binding them."
Dharma is portrayed as ultimately unbinding: when the cause is righteous, obstacles and snares are overcome, and moral purpose regains its freedom of action.
Rāvaṇa’s men report that Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, previously immobilized by Indrajit’s arrow-snare, have been released and appear formidable again.
Resilience and steadfast courage—returning to strength after constraint, like elephants breaking free of bonds.
