[edit] References
- 4naya bhayamuga – There are many instances in Valmiki Ramayana where Sri Rama speaks nicely – to Sita – to Lakshmana – to Bharata – to Sugreeva et al. However, there is atleast one instance he speaks very angrily – to counter the arguments of sage Jabali who advocated Nastika Vaada to justify Sri Rama’s return to Ayodhya. Please refer to Ayodhya Kanda, Chapters 108 and 109.
