mahad vanaṃ tat pratigāhamānā rarāja senā bharatasya tatra ||39||
Di sana, bala tentera Bharata—gajah, kuda dan para pahlawan yang bersemangat—memasuki rimba besar, menggentarkan kawanan binatang dan burung, lalu tampak bersinar dalam kemegahan yang berhimpun.
Bharata's army of soldiers, elephants and horses, all in high spirits, looked splendid while entering the forest full of frightening flocks of birds and beasts.ityārṣē śrīmadrāmāyaṇē vālmīkīya ādikāvyē ayōdhyākāṇḍē dvinavatitamassargaḥ৷৷Thus ends the ninetysecond sarga in Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
The verse frames power as purposeful: the army’s might is not for conquest but for a dharmic objective, underscoring that strength should serve righteousness.
Bharata’s troops enter a great forest; the movement and noise scatter animals and birds as the host advances.
Collective courage and morale directed toward duty, not personal gain.
