✦ अर्थ
वाल्मीकि रामायण का यह एक भव्य श्लोक श्रीराम के सर्वाधिक उद्धृत वर्णनों में से एक है। राक्षस मारीच द्वारा रावण को चेतावनी देते हुए कहा गया यह श्लोक राम को साक्षात् धर्म-स्वरूप घोषित करता है — साधु, अमोघ पराक्रमी, तथा देवताओं में इन्द्र के समान समस्त संसार के अधिपति। भक्त इसे राम के दिव्य स्वरूप की संक्षिप्त एवं सशक्त अभिव्यक्ति मानकर एक लघु प्रणाम-श्लोक के रूप में पढ़ते हैं।
उत्पत्ति और कथा
Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kanda (words of Maricha to Ravana) · Maharishi Valmiki · Ancient (Treta Yuga setting; classical epic)
In the Aranya Kanda of Valmiki's Ramayana, Ravana approaches the demon Maricha to enlist his help in abducting Sita. Maricha, who had already once felt Rama's power, tries to dissuade Ravana by extolling Rama's greatness. In this verse he declares that Rama is dharma embodied, of unfailing valour, and the king of all the world like Indra among the gods — a warning that to oppose Rama is to oppose righteousness itself.
✦ शास्त्रों में वर्णित
It is striking that this supreme praise of Rama comes from the mouth of a demon, Maricha — testimony that even Rama's foes could not deny His divinity and righteousness; tradition holds that to remember Rama as 'dharma incarnate' aligns the devotee with the very power of truth.
