In my opinion this is the proper course to follow. As soon as you see Rāma, evil shall befall you. Remain here. Do not wish (to go to the field). By refraining from fight, you shall acquire great good.
एतत्सुनीतं मम दर्शनेन रामं हि दृष्टैव भवेदनर्थः। इहैव ते सेत्स्यति मोत्सुको भूर्महानयुद्धेन सुखस्य लाभः॥
