国王啊：这位英雄肤色深沉、双目如莲，凭勇力名闻世间，是伊克什瓦库一族卓绝的战车勇士。在他身上，达摩坚固不移，从不逾越正法；他通晓诸吠陀，为吠陀知者之最；亦知梵天之兵。其箭可贯苍穹，亦可裂群山；其怒如死神，其勇如因陀罗。你从阇那斯坦那掳走了他的妻子悉多——这位罗摩，国王啊，如今正前来与你交战。
"O king! the king who is not distant from him, a dark complexioned, one with lotus eyes who never transgresses his righteousness, who is a great charioteer of Ikshvaku race; who knows use of Vedas, who is choicest, who knows the weapons presided over by Brahma; whose arrows can pierce through the sky and even mountains; whose anger is like anger of death, whose valour is like that of Indra; whose consort has been borne away from Janasthana is Rama. He is advancing towards you to wage war with you."
FAQs
They portray Rāma as one in whom dharma is steady and who does not transgress it, making his coming battle not mere vengeance but a dharmic response to the adharma of abducting Sītā.
Satya is implied through Vibhīṣaṇa’s candid, factual description to Rāvaṇa—naming the wrongdoing (the abduction of Sītā) and truthfully stating its consequence: Rāma’s inevitable advance to confront him.
