I (Tulsidas) shall never say that Lord Ram’s eyebrows are actually like a ‘bow’ which is deemed to be stern and hard by its nature. This is because when the bow faces an enemy it becomes taut as it is stringed and pulled to shoot the arrow, while it becomes flaccid and limp when it is un-stringed and set aside to rest. Lord Ram is ever so merciful and kind. He is so compassionate that though his eyebrows remain perpetually curved like a stringed bow, yet they are never meant to harm or scold or look down upon anybody. Rather, the curve of the Lord’s eyebrows adds a special charm to his already beautiful face.
