Junto con su hermano Lakṣmaṇa, versado en el arte del gobierno y en la recta conducta, destruye las masas de ejércitos enemigos con fuerza y arrojo inconcebibles. Ese glorioso aniquilador de adversarios no ha sido muerto.»

"O Sita! One who is endowed with long rounded arms and broad chest, a valorous one, a glorious wielder of bow and powerful Rama along with his brother Lakshmana, is always a protector of himself and all surrounding him. He is a knower of sastras of propriety. Raghava is majestic with inconceivable courage and a destroyer of foes. He will not be killed."

FAQs

Dharma is portrayed as protective power: the righteous leader (dharmātmā) safeguards self and others, and true strength is aligned with moral order rather than mere violence.

Saramā counters Sītā’s despair by describing Rāma’s qualities and asserting that he has not been killed (implying deception or illusion).

Rāma’s dharma-centered heroism and Lakṣmaṇa’s steadfast fraternal support, alongside competence in naya (right policy/conduct).
