उत्पातदर्शनं खरसैन्यसमागमश्च
Omens of calamity and the approach of Khara’s army
आविष्टं तेजसा रामं सङ्ग्रामशिरसि स्थितम्।दृष्ट्वा सर्वाणि भूतानि भयार्तानि प्रदुद्रुवुः।।।।
āviṣṭaṃ tejasā rāmaṃ saṅgrāmaśirasi sthitam | dṛṣṭvā sarvāṇi bhūtāni bhayārtāni pradudruvuḥ ||
ครั้นเห็นพระรามอาบด้วยเดช ยืนอยู่ ณ แนวหน้าสุดแห่งสมรภูมิ สรรพสัตว์ทั้งปวงก็หวาดหวั่นและพากันวิ่งหนีไป
Seeing Rama flashing (in anger) and standing on the warfront all creatures ran away frightened.
Dharma’s champion may inspire fear in the unrighteous and awe in the world; moral authority (tejas) is depicted as a force that restores balance.
Rama stands at the battle’s forefront, radiating power; the surrounding beings scatter in fear.
Leadership and fearlessness—Rama takes the front position rather than hiding behind others.
