लक्ष्मण-प्राणरक्षा:
Lakshmana’s Revival by the Herb-Mountain
लज्जतीवहिवीर्यंभ्रश्यतीवकराद्धनुः ।सायकाव्यवसीदन्तिदृष्टिर्भाष्पवशंगता ।।।।
lajjatīva hi vīryaṃ bhraśyatīva karād dhanuḥ |
sāyakā vyavasīdanti dṛṣṭir bāṣpavaśaṃ gatā ||
私の勇気は恥じて縮こまるかのようです。弓は手から滑り落ち、矢はこぼれ落ち、私の視界は涙の力に覆われてしまいました。
"O Sinless Rama! To be in despair on my account is not fair. Destroy Ravana and redeem your vow."
Dharma includes truthful acknowledgment of one’s inner state; even a righteous warrior may openly face grief without denying it.
In the battlefield crisis after Lakṣmaṇa is struck, Rāma’s composure collapses momentarily—his weapons and focus fail due to tears.
Emotional sincerity and deep compassion, showing that strength in the Ramayana is not mere hardness but moral sensitivity.
