न खल्वस्ति मम त्रासो लक्ष्मणान्नापि राघवात्।मित्रं त्वस्थानकुपितं जनयत्येव सम्भ्रमम्।।
na khalv asti mama trāso lakṣmaṇān nāpi rāghavāt | mitraṃ tv asthāna-kupitaṃ janayaty eva sambhramam ||
Tunay, wala akong takot kay Lakṣmaṇa, ni maging kay Rāma; datapwat kapag ang kaibigan ay nagagalit nang walang wastong dahilan, tiyak na nagbubunga iyon ng pagkalito at pangamba.
'Indeed I have not uttered any harsh word or done anything wrong. I, therefore, wonder why Rama's brother, Lakshmana is angry with me?
Even when one is not physically threatened, dharma values harmony in alliances; unjustified anger in relationships is itself a danger to order and truth.
Sugriva frames the crisis as relational: Lakṣmaṇa’s anger threatens the stability of friendship with Rāma.
