उत्तरंद्वारमासाद्यरामःसौमित्रिणासह ।आवृत्यबलवांस्तस्थौसुग्रीवश्चहरीश्वरः ।।।।
uttaraṃ dvāram āsādya rāmaḥ saumitriṇā saha |
āvṛtya balavāṃs tasthau sugrīvaś ca harīśvaraḥ ||
شمالی دروازے تک پہنچ کر شری رام، سومِتری (لکشمن) کے ساتھ، اسے محاصرہ کر کے قوت کے ساتھ ڈٹ گئے؛ اور ہریوں کے ایشور، سُگریو بھی وہیں مورچہ زن رہا۔
Reaching the north gate, Sri Rama along with Saumithri, blockading the gate stood Sugriva the Lord of monkeys.
Dharma is protective leadership: Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa personally take the frontline position, modeling responsibility and truth-driven resolve rather than delegating all risk.
Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa, and Sugrīva occupy the northern gate, completing the strategic encirclement of Laṅkā.
Netr̥tva (exemplary leadership) and rakṣā (protective guardianship) grounded in Satya and Dharma.
