ໃນເວລານັ້ນ ພຣະລັກສະມະນະ ຜູ້ມີທຳມະໃນໃຈ ມຸ່ງໝັ້ນຈະກຳຈັດກຸມພະກັນນະ ແລະພິຈາລະນາອຸບາຍຫຼາຍປະການ ຈຶ່ງກ່າວຕໍ່ພຣະຣາມ.
At that time, righteous Lakshmana who was attentively deliberating on many plans to kill Kumbhakarna, said to Rama.
Dharma is not mere intent but wise means: Lakṣmaṇa’s deliberation shows that righteous ends should be pursued with thoughtful strategy to reduce harm and secure protection.
As Kumbhakarṇa remains a grave threat, Lakṣmaṇa considers multiple plans and prepares to advise Rāma on how to bring him down.
Prudent counsel and duty-bound loyalty: Lakṣmaṇa combines devotion to Rāma with strategic intelligence in service of the righteous cause.
