सुभ्रूः आयतताम्राक्षः साक्षाद्विष्णुरिव स्वयम्।।2.2.43।। रामो लोकाभिरामोऽयं शौर्यवीर्यपराक्रमैः।
subhrūḥ āyatatāmrākṣaḥ sākṣādviṣṇuriva svayam rāmo lokābhirāmo'yaṃ śauryavīryaparākramaiḥ|
Rama, who is the source of delight to the world, has charming eyebrows and large coppercoloured eyes. He is endowed with heroism, bravery and valour like Visnu manifested.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Rama's physical description returns — charming eyebrows, large copper-coloured eyes. After the long catalogue of virtues, the verse reminds us that he is also beautiful. In the Ramayana's world, inner virtue and outer beauty are not separate; the one shines through the other.
