इयं गिरिगुहा रम्या विशाला युक्तमारुता।अस्यां वत्स्याम सौमित्रे वर्षरात्रमरिन्दम4.27.6।।
iyaṃ giriguhā ramyā viśālā yuktamārutā |
asyāṃ vatsyāma saumitre varṣarātram arindama || 4.27.6 ||
హే సౌమిత్రి, శత్రుదమనా! ఈ పర్వతగుహ రమ్యమై విశాలమై సుగాలి గలది. వర్షాకాల రాత్రులంతా ఇక్కడనే నివసించెదము॥
'O Lakshmana! you have spoken the words of an affectionate and friendly counsellor of proven valour.
Dharma is expressed as restraint and strategic patience: choosing a suitable refuge and waiting for the proper season rather than acting rashly.
Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, after allying with Sugrīva, decide to stay in a mountain cave during the monsoon when movement and warfare are difficult.
Rāma’s calm judgment and foresight—he balances urgency with practical timing and safety.
