सरमायाḥ सीतासान्त्वनम् तथा रावणनिश्चयश्रवणम्
Saarana Consoles Sita and Reports Ravana’s Resolve
एतस्मिन्नन्तरेशब्दोभेरीशङ्खसमाकुलः ।।।।श्रुतोवानरसैन्यानांकम्पयन् धरणीतलम् ।
etasminn antare śabdo bherīśaṅkhasamākulaḥ |
śruto vānarasainyānāṃ kampayan dharaṇītalam ||
En ese mismo instante se oyó en las huestes de los vánaras un clamor tumultuoso, colmado de tambores y caracolas, como si hiciera temblar la faz de la tierra.
"Ravana has the power of conjuring tricks, makes enemies cry. He is cruel, evil minded and deluding me as though he has drunk liquor."
Dharma here is collective action in support of justice: the gathered forces signal a united stand against oppression.
As the conversation in Laṅkā continues, the approaching vānaras’ martial sounds are heard, indicating the battle’s momentum.
Courage and solidarity: the vānaras’ unified war-cry and instruments embody determined support for Rāma’s righteous mission.
