Ravana (kṣaṇadācara)FAQs
Dharma is presented as supported by cosmic संकेत (nimitta/omens): when a righteous alliance forms, signs arise indicating protection for the just and danger for the unjust.
As Sugrīva and Rāma form their bond, simultaneous bodily omens occur for Sītā, Vāli, and Rāvaṇa, foreshadowing coming outcomes.
Rāma and Sugrīva’s commitment to a dharmic alliance; the verse underscores that moral actions resonate beyond human politics into providential order.
