रावणस्य सभाप्रवेशः — रामस्य शरवृष्ट्या राक्षससेनाविनाशः
Ravana Enters Council; Rama’s Arrow-Storm Destroys the Rakshasa Host
तेतुरामसहस्राणिरणेपश्यन्तिराक्षसाः ।पुनःपश्यन्तिकाकुत्स्थमेकमेवमहाहवे ।।।।
te tu rāmasahasrāṇi raṇe paśyanti rākṣasāḥ |
punaḥ paśyanti kākutstham ekam eva mahāhave ||
Trong đại chiến ấy, bọn rākṣasa khi thì thấy trên chiến địa có đến ngàn Rāma; rồi lại thấy chỉ một mình Kakutstha mà thôi.
In the battle those Rakshasas could see a thousand Ramas at one place and again one Rama alone at another place
When truth (satya) stands firm, deception rebounds on the unrighteous: their minds fragment, and they cannot grasp reality clearly.
Under the battle’s supernatural confusion (linked to Rāma’s weaponry and speed), the rākṣasas perceive multiple forms of Rāma and then only one.
Ekāgratā (single-pointed resolve): despite appearing as many to the deluded enemy, Rāma remains one—steady in purpose and presence.
