धनुर्वेदविदां श्रेष्ठो लोकेऽतिरथसम्मतः। अभियाता प्रहर्ता च सेनानयविशारदः

He was the best among those skilled in archery in this world. He was reckoned as a great wielder of warchariots and one who strikes at the enemies by advancing towards them. He was an expert in commanding troops. (Atiratha is an excellent warrior who can manage his chariot, horses and the charioteer.)
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Rama is the best among archers, unequalled in battle. After the long description of his intellectual and moral virtues, the verse returns to his martial prowess. He is not only wise and good — he is also the most dangerous man on the battlefield.
