FAQs
Dharma here is resolute protection of the righteous cause: Lakṣmaṇa commits himself to stopping a destructive enemy, using strength in service of justice rather than anger for its own sake.
Lakṣmaṇa declares to Rāma that he will immediately strike down the fierce foe (contextually, Rāvaṇa’s son engaged in dangerous rites/war-magic) and proceeds toward the confrontation.
Determination and disciplined valor—swift, purposeful action aligned with duty.
