tato rāmo mahātejāḥ saumitri-sahito balī ||6.100.13||
vānarāṃś ca raṇe bhagnān āpatantaṃ ca rāvaṇam |
samīkṣya rāghavo hṛṣṭo madhye jagrāha kārmukam ||6.100.14||
Pagkaraan, ang makapangyarihang Rāma, nagliliwanag sa dakilang ningning at kasama si Saumitri (Lakṣmaṇa), nang makita ang mga Vānara na nabasag sa labanan at si Rāvaṇa na sumasalakay, ay napuspos ng masidhing galak ng paninindigan at, sa gitna roon, hinawakan ang kanyang busog.
Then the highly brilliant, mighty Raghava along with Saumithri, witnessing the Vanaras routed in war and Ravana coming towards him. joyful Rama took hold of his bow and held in the midst.
Dharma here is responsible leadership: seeing allies falter and danger approach, Rāma steps forward to bear the burden himself rather than withdrawing.
Rāma notices the vānara troops being driven back and Rāvaṇa advancing; he immediately readies himself by taking up his bow in the center of the battle.
Protective leadership and vīrya (valor): Rāma’s readiness to confront the chief threat directly.
