adyākṣobhyam api kruddhaḥ kṣobhayīṣyāmi sāgaram |

Hoje, tomado de ira, farei tremer o oceano—embora se diga inabalável—, ele que se mantém dentro dos limites traçados pela praia, repleto de milhares de ondas. Com minhas flechas, lançarei a morada de Varuṇa além de suas fronteiras; revolverei esse vasto mar, apinhado de seres poderosos.
"The ocean has not shown his own form to me. O Lakshmana Get the bow and venomous snake like arrows, I will dry up the ocean and the Vanaras can walk by foot and go."
Maryādā (right order/limits) is central: when a power that should uphold order obstructs righteousness, Dharma authorizes corrective force to restore the path of duty.
Rāma vows to violently agitate and even transgress the ocean’s boundaries using divine martial force if passage is not granted.
Protective severity—firmness used in service of a just cause, not personal gain.
