agratas tu yayau tasya rāghavasya mahātmanaḥ | sugrīvaḥ saṃhata-grīvo lakṣmaṇaś ca mahā-balaḥ ||
នៅខាងមុខព្រះរាឃវៈអ្នកមានព្រះហឫទ័យធំ នោះ សុគ្រីវៈដែលករឹងមាំ និងមាំមួន បានដើរនាំមុខ ហើយព្រះលក្ខ្មណៈអ្នកមានកម្លាំងធំក៏ដើរតាម។
The strong-necked Sugriva and mighty Lakshmana walked in front of the high-souled Rama.
Dharma is expressed as loyal service and protective companionship: allies and kin place themselves forward to safeguard the righteous leader.
As the party advances, Sugrīva and Lakṣmaṇa take the lead position before Rāma, indicating alertness and tactical care.
Loyalty and courage—Sugrīva’s allied commitment and Lakṣmaṇa’s protective steadfastness.
