yad vānarendrasya balaṃ tena sarveṇa saṃvṛtaḥ |
hanūmatpramukhaiś ca yūthapaiḥ saha lakṣmaṇa ||6.85.21||
jāmbavenārkṣapatinā saha sainyena saṃvṛtaḥ |
jahī taṃ rākṣasasutaṃ māyābalaviśāradam ||6.85.22||
O Lakṣmaṇa, encompassed by the full strength of the Vānara king, with Hanumān and the troop-leaders at your fore, and guarded with the host by Jāmbavān, lord of the bears—slay that rākṣasa prince, skilled in the power of māyā.
"O Lakshmana! Surrounded by the entire army of Vanara king, with Hanuman as commander in chief of the army, protected by Jambavan, king of Bears, put an end to the son of Ravana who is well versed in tricks."
Dharma as protection of the righteous community: Rāma directs coordinated action to neutralize deceptive violence, emphasizing duty, order, and safeguarding allies.
Rāma commands Lakṣmaṇa to engage and defeat the rākṣasa prince skilled in māyā, supported by the full Vānara host under Hanumān and guarded by Jāmbavān.
Lakṣmaṇa’s martial responsibility (kṣātra-dharma) combined with collective discipline and reliance on capable allies.
