O hero, as he moves through the sky with his chariot, his course cannot be discerned—like the sun when it passes amid a surge of clouds.
Then Rama, who can win over enemies, picked up courage, said to Vibheeshana seated near him in front of Vanaras.
Dharma as vigilance: when an enemy uses concealment, one must remain alert and disciplined, not reckless—truthful awareness guides righteous action.
The enemy’s aerial movement is described as hard to track, indicating the tactical difficulty posed by māyā and speed.
Alertness and battlefield discernment—training the mind to perceive through confusion.
