Memikirkan, “Ini bukan saat untuk berdukacita,” Raghava—bertekad membinasakan Ravana—menerjunkan diri ke medan perang yang amat dahsyat, sambil dengan segala upaya besar meneliti dan menjaga Laksmana.

FAQs
Dharma here is steadfastness in crisis: Rāma rejects paralyzing grief and chooses responsible action—protecting his ally (Lakṣmaṇa) while pursuing justice against Rāvaṇa.
After Lakṣmaṇa is gravely wounded, Rāma masters his sorrow and intensifies the fight, determined to end Rāvaṇa.
Rāma’s dhairya (fortitude) and kṛpā (protective compassion) are emphasized—calm resolve without abandoning care for the injured.
