आदित्यहृदयम्
Aditya Hridayam Upadeśa — Agastya’s Instruction to Rāma
राम राम महाबाहो शृणुगुह्यंसनातनम् ।येनसर्वानरीस्वत्ससमरेविजयिष्यसे ।।6.107.3।।
rāma rāma mahābāho śṛṇu guhyaṃ sanātanam |
yena sarvān arīn vatsa samare vijayiṣyase ||6.107.3||
“罗摩啊,大臂勇者,听我说,亲爱的孩子:此乃古老而隐秘的教诲;凭此你将在战场上战胜一切仇敌。”
Agastya having spoken in that way to the mighty armed Rama to worship the Sun God and assuring him that the very moment he will be able to kill Ravana, left in the same way.
Dharma here is disciplined right action: seeking guidance, receiving sacred instruction with humility, and using strength for righteous purpose (the defeat of adharma).
On the battlefield before the climactic fight, Agastya approaches Rāma and begins imparting the Āditya-hṛdaya teaching to restore his confidence and ensure victory.
Teachability and reverence for wisdom—Rāma is positioned as the ideal listener who accepts counsel in a critical moment.
