Ravana Reveals Himself; Sita Affirms Rama’s Dharma
महाबाहुं महोरस्कं सिंहविक्रान्तगामिनम्।नृसिंहं सिंहसङ्काशमहं राममनुव्रता।।3.47.35।।
mahābāhuṁ mahोरaskaṁ siṁhavikrāntagāminam | nṛsiṁhaṁ siṁhasaṅkāśam ahaṁ rāmam anuvratā || 3.47.35 ||
महाबाहुं महोरस्कं सिंहविक्रान्तगामिनम्। नृसिंहं सिंहसङ्काशं राममनुव्रता अहम्।।
I am the faithful wife of the long-armed, broad-chested Rama, - a lion among men. His gait is the gait of an advancing, invincible lion.
Dharma is protected by rightful strength: Sītā invokes Rāma’s valor to show that unrighteous aggression will meet righteous resistance.
Sītā warns Rāvaṇa indirectly by portraying Rāma as overwhelmingly powerful and heroic.
Heroic valor aligned with righteousness: Rāma’s strength is framed as protective, not predatory.
