“Hindi ipinakikita sa akin ng Karagatan ang tunay niyang kalooban, kahit kausapin ko nang may pag-amo. O Saumitrī, dalhin mo ang busog at ang mga palasong tulad ng makamandag na ahas; patutuyuin ko ang dagat—lumakad nawa sa lupa ang mga vānaras.”

FAQs

Dharma includes upāya (appropriate means): when sāman (conciliation) fails against obstinacy, firm action may be invoked to protect a righteous objective.

Rāma orders Lakṣmaṇa to bring bow and arrows, declaring he will force a passage by drying the sea so the vānaras can cross.

Leadership and resolve—Rāma takes responsibility for removing obstacles to the mission of rescuing Sītā.
