March to the Seacoast and Encampment at the Shore
अथ धौतोपलतलां तोयौघै स्सहसोत्थितैः ।वेलामासाद्य विपुलान्रामो वचनमब्रवीत् ।।।।
atha dhautopalatalāṃ toyaughaiḥ sahasotthitaiḥ |
velām āsādya vipulāṃ rāmo vacanam abravīt ||
Entonces, al llegar a la vasta orilla —cuyo suelo pedregoso estaba pulido por las oleadas que se alzaban con ímpetu— Rāma pronunció estas palabras.
Atonce Rama sprung from there (top of mountain) on to an extensive surface of the earth polished by the waves of the ocean spoke these words on reaching there.
Dharma at a threshold moment is expressed through truthful resolve and right counsel—speech that guides action toward justice.
At the sea-shore, Rāma arrives at a decisive point in the campaign and begins to address his companions.
Purposeful leadership through timely, truthful speech (satya + hitavacana).
