Sarga 95: Lamentation in Laṅkā and the Causal Chain of Enmity

Nos plus grands héros ayant été tués par Rāma, nous avons perdu l’espoir de vivre ; ne voyant pas la fin de cette terreur, nous gémissons comme des êtres sans protection.
"Eminent heroes killed by Rama, hopes of life lost, not able to see the end of fear, we are like orphans weeping."
The verse highlights the human fallout of unrighteous conflict: when leaders choose adharma, the vulnerable become “anātha”—left without protection and stability.
Inside Lanka, the women lament after the death of their champions, expressing despair and unending fear as the war closes in.
Implicitly, the need for protective, responsible rulership (rāja-dharma); its absence produces anāthatva (helplessness) among dependents.
