Night on the riverbank
लक्ष्मणस्तं तदोवाच रक्ष्यमाणास्त्वयानघ।नात्र भीता वयं सर्वे धर्ममेवानुपश्यता।।।।
lakṣmaṇas taṁ tadovāca rakṣyamāṇās tvayānagha |
nātra bhītā vayaṁ sarve dharmam evānupaśyatā ||
అప్పుడు లక్ష్మణుడు అతనితో అన్నాడు— “హే అనఘా! ధర్మాన్ని దృష్టిలో ఉంచి నీవు మమ్మల్ని రక్షిస్తున్నావు; అందువల్ల మేమందరం ఇక్కడ ఏమాత్రం భయపడటం లేదు.”

Lakshmana’s discernment and trust in dharmic character rather than mere power.
