Shloka 9
कुन्तीगर्भगोपनम् तथा मञ्जूषाप्रवाहः
Kuntī’s concealed childbirth and the river-borne casket
ततस्ते राममार्च्छन्तो लक्ष्मणं च क्षपाचरा: । अभिपेतुस्तदा राम॑ प्रगृहीतशरासना:,तदनन्तर वे राक्षस हाथोंमें धनुष-बाण लिये श्रीराम और लक्ष्मणको पीड़ा देते हुए उनपर टूट पड़े
tataste rāmam ārcchantō lakṣmaṇaṁ ca kṣapācarāḥ | abhipetustadā rāma pragṛhītaśarāsanāḥ ||
马尔坎德耶说道：随即，那些夜行的罗刹紧逼罗摩与罗什曼那，张弓备箭，猛然扑上，欲以折磨与压服将他们击倒。此景昭示：以暴烈袭击而骤起的非正法（adharma），终将遭遇持守正法者坚定不移的警觉与镇定。

Educational Q&A
Adharma often advances through sudden, aggressive violence, but the righteous must remain alert and steadfast. Readiness (weapons held prepared) symbolizes disciplined vigilance rather than impulsive aggression.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that night-roaming rākṣasas, armed with bows and arrows, rush upon Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa and begin to harass them, initiating an intense confrontation.
