Ravana’s Shakti Javelin and Lakshmana’s Wounding
स्वस्थापश्यतदुर्धर्षायुद्धंवानरपुङ्गवाः ।असीनाःपर्वताग्रेषुममेदंरावणस्य च ।।।।
svasthāḥ paśyata durdharṣā yuddhaṃ vānarapuṅgavāḥ |
āsīnāḥ parvatāgreṣu mamedaṃ rāvaṇasya ca ||
હે વાનરપુંગવો, અદમ્ય વીરોએ, સ્થિર રહો અને જુઓ—પર્વતશિખરો પર બેસીને—મારો અને રાવણનો આ ભયંકર યુદ્ધ.
"This Ravana, having come within the range of my vision, will not survive today, like the serpent having poison in the vision coming in the range of Garuda cannot survive."
Maryādā in war: Rāma frames the encounter as a direct, accountable duel, asking allies to witness rather than disorderly engagement.
Rāma instructs the Vānara leaders to take vantage positions and observe the decisive fight.
Command and calm authority: he organizes the battlefield with clarity and restraint.
