2.288
sa eva dhairyeṇa, yathā-
śaktyā vakṣasi magnayā saha mayā mūḍhe plavaṅgādhipe
nidrāṇeṣu ca vidravatsu kapiṣu prāptāvakāśe dviṣi |
mā bhaiṣteti nirundhataḥ kapi-bhaṭānasyorjitātma-sthiteḥ
saumitrer adhiyuddha-bhūmi gaditā vācas tvayā na śrutāḥ ||
The same through firmness, as in:
"When the king of monkeys was bewildered by the spear that sank into his chest, and with him myself too,
and when the monkeys were asleep or running away, and the enemy found an opening—
did you not hear the words uttered on the field of battle by the son of Sumitrā of mighty stature,
who held back the monkey warriors, saying: 'Do not fear!'?"
2.288.p1
atra rāvaṇa-śakti-prahāreṇa kṣīṇa-śakter api lakṣmaṇasya dhairya-janitotsāhaḥ kapi-bhaṭāśvāsanādibhir vyajyate |
Here, although Lakṣmaṇa's physical strength was depleted by the strike of Rāvaṇa's spear, his energy born of firmness is manifested through comforting the monkey warriors and the like.
