スグリーヴァは神々しい飾りと花鬘で装った女たちに囲まれていた。その光景にラクシュマナの眼は怒りで赤く染まり、アンタカ（死）そのもののように見えた。
Lakshmana saw famous Sugriva, difficult to be conquered, seated on a golden throne strewn around with cushions, decorated with ornaments of different colours, endearing in appearance, decked with beautiful garlands and clothes. He was surrounded by women adorned with most fascinating ornaments and garlands. Bewildered at the sight, Lakshmana's eyes turned red in anger. He appeared like Yama, lord of death.
FAQs
Dharma here concerns accountability in friendship and kingship: indulgence that causes neglect of a pledged duty is portrayed as morally dangerous, provoking righteous reprimand.
Lakṣmaṇa sees Sugrīva enjoying royal pleasures and being attended by women; this triggers Lakṣmaṇa’s wrath because Rāma’s urgent mission (search for Sītā) has been delayed.
Lakṣmaṇa’s loyalty and uncompromising commitment to duty are emphasized—his anger functions as a protector of dharma (keeping promises and acting at the right time).
