रामस्य सुग्रीवप्रति रोषः — हनूमता सीतादर्शनवृत्तान्तः
Rāma’s Reproach of Sugrīva; Hanūmān’s Report of Seeing Sītā
सौवीरवीरा: प्रवरा युवानो राजानमेते बलिनो<नुयान्ति । एतै: सहायैरुपयाति राजा मरुद्गणैरिन्द्र इवाभिगुप्त:,सौवीरदेशके ये प्रमुख बलवान् नवयुवक वीर सदा राजा जयद्रथके साथ चलते हैं। राजा जयद्रथ इन सहायकोंसे सुरक्षित हो मरुदगणोंसे घिरे हुए देवराज इन्द्रकी भाँति यात्रा करते हैं
sauvīravīrāḥ pravarā yuvāno rājānam ete balino 'nuyānti | etaiḥ sahāyair upayāti rājā marudgaṇair indra ivābhiguptaḥ ||
The foremost young warriors of Sauvīra—strong and capable—follow their king. With such attendants the king proceeds well-guarded, like Indra surrounded and protected by the Marut hosts. The verse underscores how royal power is sustained not merely by personal might but by loyal, disciplined support that creates security and confidence in action.

Educational Q&A
A ruler’s effectiveness and safety depend on steadfast, capable companions; collective strength and loyal protection enable confident movement and authority, just as Indra’s might is pictured with the Maruts around him.
Kotika describes how the king—understood in context as Jayadratha—travels accompanied by strong, elite young warriors from Sauvīra, moving securely like Indra guarded by the Marut hosts.
