क्रुद्धः रामः (Kruddhaḥ Rāmaḥ) “Angry Rama”

Desperate to cross the ocean and reach Lanka, Rama prays to Sagara, the god of the ocean. After 3 nights of respectful salutation to the great ocean with his face turned eastward, Rama says angrily to Laxmana:

"O, what arrogance of the ocean, who does not appear himself personally before me! Indeed calmness, forbearance kind spoken ness and straight -forwardness- these qualities of noble men give weak results, when directed towards those having no virtues."

Sagara emerges from the water and tells Rama to use Vishwakarma’s son, Nala to build the bridge at a location recommended by him. It is a reminder that sometimes show of strength is necessary to get results in the pursuit of dharma.
