रावणरथवैभव–निमित्तदर्शन–राममातलिसंवादः

वर्षरुधिरंदेवोरावणस्यरधोपरि ।।।।वातामण्डलिनस्त्रीव्राह्यपसव्यंप्रचक्रमुः ।
vavarṣa rudhiraṃ devo rāvaṇasya rathopari | vātā maṇḍalinas tīvra hy apasavyaṃ pracakramuḥ ||
દેવલોકથી રાવણના રથ ઉપર લોહીની વર્ષા થઈ; અને પ્રચંડ પવનચક્રો અપશકુનરૂપે ડાબેથી જમણે ફરતા વળાંકો મારવા લાગ્યા.

Moral discernment: recognizing warnings and turning away from wrongdoing—something Rāvaṇa fails to do.
