Sri: 
Dear Madhavan Swamy
Your explanation was excellant , like more than literal meaning you went to the extent of explaining His GunA's in each avatAr's on similar count Adiyen wish to add for Raman's action of "marA maram ezhum eithAn" ,
here He removes the samsayam of His adiyAr's on His calibre, Raman showed the same to Vibeeshana when he was doubting whether Raman could face vAly, similarly He is our untimate protector come what may He will take care of us atany cost, He has the ability too ,

Also we would have seen this episode quoted by Alwars in diff places , the main underlying concept is to show His valour and care He shows to protect all chetanA's , as we know well that Alwar's were not interested in repeating the story of Ramayanam .
