जय श्रीराम!
श्रुत्वा रामः प्रियोदन्तं मेने तत्सङ्गमोत्सुकः ।
महार्णवपरिक्षेपं लङ्कायाः परिखालघुम् ॥१२.६६॥
Notes: Kālidāsa says," Having heard the account of Sītā's state in captivity (with the silver lining of her waiting in hope and fondness), Śrīrāma then pined ardently for his union with her, and equally eager was he to cross the ocean - a task he considered as easy as it would be to negotiate the moat around Laṅkā while making his entry to free Sītā.
Kālidāsa clubs the thoughts of crossing the ocean and attacking Laṅkā into one simple step to be accomplished while speaking of Śrīrāma's sense of urgency to free Sītā and reunite with her. There is no hint of any helplessness.
