Rāma, dengan busur di tangan dan ditemani adiknya, menjaga sekaligus menutup gerbang utara Laṅkā yang menjulang laksana puncak gunung.
Accompanied by his brother Lakshmana, Rama, armed with bow, blocked the northern gate of Lanka which was like a lofty mountain peak and protected.
Dharma is protective responsibility: securing critical points prevents harm to allies and advances justice with minimal disorder.
Rama and Lakshmana take position at Lanka’s northern gate, holding it as part of the battle plan.
Strategic guardianship and fraternal solidarity in righteous warfare.
