अम्बा–राम–भीष्म संवादः
Amba–Rama–Bhishma Dialogue on Vow and Refuge
पश्य मे बाहुवीर्य च विक्रमं चातिमानुषम् । एवं गते5पि तु मया यच्छक्यं भूगुनन्दन
paśya me bāhuvīryaṃ ca vikramaṃ cātimānuṣam | evaṃ gate 'pi tu mayā yac chakyaṃ bhṛgunandana ||
என் புயவலிமையையும், என் அதிமானுஷ வீரத்தையும் காண். ப்ருகுநந்தனே! இத்தகைய நிலையிலும் என் வல்லமைக்குள் இயன்றதை நான் நிச்சயம் செய்வேன்.
राम उवाच
The verse emphasizes steadfast resolve and personal accountability: even when circumstances are adverse, one should commit to doing whatever is truly within one’s capacity, grounding action in honor and duty rather than excuses.
Rāma (Paraśurāma) declares his extraordinary martial power and vows that, despite the situation at hand, he will still do all that he can—an assertion of readiness and determination in a conflict setting.
