帕里克希特王啊，当罗波那听说悉多美丽的容貌时，心中充满了欲望。为了引开罗摩，他派摩力支化作金鹿。罗摩追逐并用利箭射杀了那只鹿，就像湿婆杀死达克沙一样。
FAQs
This verse states that by hearing about Sītā, Rāvaṇa’s heart became inflamed with lust, and driven by that desire he engineered the deceptive plan involving the wondrous deer.
Rāvaṇa used Mārīca’s supernatural deer-form to lure Rāma away from the hermitage; understanding the deception, Rāma swiftly struck Mārīca with an arrow.
It highlights how uncontrolled hearing and contemplation can inflame desire and lead to harmful schemes; disciplined senses and discernment protect one from deception and downfall.
