Summary of contents: Enraged to hear the exhortation of Shri Rama, Lakshmana urges in reply that the word of their father was worth ignoring inasmuch as it was divorced from righteousness and, further emphasizing the predominance of personal effort over destiny, persuades Shri Rama to take up arms against those who interfere with his installation and occupy the throne of Ayodhya by force. Shri Rama, however, pacifies Lakshmana and impresses on him the imperative necessity of their carrying out the command of their father
