Visvamitra Requests Rama for Yajna-Protection
शक्तो ह्येष मया गुप्तो दिव्येन स्वेन तेजसा ॥९॥
राक्षसा ये विकर्तारस्तेषामपि विनाशने ।
śakto hyeṣa mayā gupto divyena svena tejasā ||9||
rākṣasā ye vikartārasteṣāmapi vināśane |
मैंने इसकी हिफाज़त की है। उसके अपने ऊपर भी एक खास ताकत है। वो उन राक्षसों को भी खत्म कर सकता है जो रास्ते में रुकावटें डालते हैं।
Protected by me and by his own divine power, Rama is capable of destroying even those demons causing impediments to the sacrifice.
