پھر اُس نے سانپ کی مانند اپنے کمان کو اٹھایا—سخت چڑھی ہوئی، ہیبت ناک، اور سونے کی جھلک سے آراستہ؛ وانروں کو تسلی دے کر، رام جست لگا کر آگے بڑھا، پشت پر اعلیٰ ترکش بندھا اور بہترین تیروں سے بھرا ہوا۔
Rama, taking a formidable bow which resembled a great serpent, with a quiver full of excellent arrows shining in gold that looked beautiful, went forward restoring the confidence of the monkeys.

Rama arms himself and moves to confront the powerful enemy, while restoring the confidence of the Vanara forces.
Compassionate valor—strength used in service of truth and protection, not for rage or display.
