Adhyāya 290: Kuntī’s Mantra-Parīkṣā and the Appearance of Sūrya (कुन्ती–सूर्यसंवादः)
योधयामासतुरुभौ रावर्णिं रामलक्ष्मणौ | यद्यपि रावणका पुत्र मायासे तिरोहित हो जानेके कारण दिखायी नहीं देता था, तो भी शूरवीर श्रीराम और लक्ष्मण दोनों भाई उसके साथ युद्ध करते ही रहे
yodhayāmāsatur ubhau rāvarṇiṃ rāma-lakṣmaṇau |
マールカンデーヤは語った。ラーマとラクシュマナの兄弟は、ラーヴァナの子と戦いを交えた。羅刹の王子は幻術によって姿を隠し、目には映らなかったが、それでも二人の勇士は戦を捨てず、なお相まみえ続けた――不確かさと欺きの中にあっても、勇気と義務（ダルマ）に堅く立ちながら。

Steadfastness in dharma: even when faced with deception, uncertainty, or an unseen opponent, one should not abandon rightful duty. Courage is shown by continuing disciplined effort despite fear and confusion created by māyā.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa continue fighting Rāvaṇa’s son. Although he becomes invisible through magical concealment, the brothers persist in combat, refusing to be deterred by illusion.
