Bhīma–Hanūmān Dialogue on Yugas (युगवर्णनम्)
अथ दाशरथिरवीरो रामो नाम महाबल: । विष्णुर्मानुषरूपेण चचार वसुधातलम्,उस समय महाबली वीर दशरथनन्दन श्रीराम, जो साक्षात् भगवान् विष्णु ही थे, मनुष्यरूप धारण करके इस भूतलपर विचर रहे थे
atha dāśarathir avīro rāmo nāma mahābalaḥ | viṣṇur mānuṣa-rūpeṇa cacāra vasudhā-talam ||
其时，大力英雄罗摩，达沙罗陀之子——实为毗湿奴自身——化作人形，行走于大地之上。

Educational Q&A
The verse presents Rāma as Viṣṇu incarnate, highlighting the avatāra idea: the divine enters the human realm to sustain dharma, modeling righteous conduct within worldly constraints.
Vaiśampāyana states that the powerful hero Rāma, son of Daśaratha, was at that time roaming the earth in human form—introducing or recalling Rāma’s presence as a dharmic exemplar within the epic’s broader discourse.
