Withdrawal of the Coronation: Rama’s Counsel to Lakshmana
अथ तं व्यथया दीनं सविशेषममर्षितम् ।
श्वसन्तमिव नागेन्द्रं रोषविस्फारितेक्षणम् ॥१॥
आसाद्य रामस्सौमित्रिं सुहृदं भ्रातरं प्रियम् ।
उवाचेदं स धैर्येण धारयन्सत्त्वमात्मवान् ॥२॥
atha taṁ vyathayā dīnaṁ saviśeṣam amarṣitam |
śvasantam iva nāgendraṁ roṣavisphāritekṣaṇam ||1||
āsādya rāmaḥ saumitriṁ suhṛdaṁ bhrātaraṁ priyam |
uvāca idaṁ sa dhairyeṇa dhārayan sattvam ātmavān ||2||
แล้วพระราม ผู้ทรงสำรวมและมั่นคง ได้เสด็จเข้าไปหาเสามิตรี—น้องชายอันเป็นที่รักและสหายผู้ซื่อสัตย์—ผู้ถูกความทุกข์บีบคั้นและเดือดดาลด้วยความขุ่นเคือง ดุจพญานาคที่พ่นลมหายใจฟู่ ดวงตาเบิกกว้างด้วยโทสะ แล้วพระรามทรงตรัสด้วยความอดทน กลั้นจิตให้มั่นคงในสติ
The self-possessed Rama held his composure and approached his beloved, intimate brother Lakshmana who was (looking) miserable with his mental agony. To him, who was hissing like a king cobra, he said:
Dharma here is emotional discipline in crisis: Rama models steadiness (dhairya, sattva) even when injustice provokes anger in others.
Immediately after the coronation plan is overturned, Lakshmana is enraged; Rama approaches him to calm and guide him.
Rama’s self-possession and leadership through calm counsel, contrasted with Lakshmana’s fierce protective anger.
