Anyway, I will give u a short backstory…
Ram’s bow that he usually carries is Kodanda. (Many think this is same as saranga, it is not!)
He broke Pinaka(shiva’s bow) .
Received Vishnu’s bow from parasurama, named Saranga.
Sarangi(meaning Lakshmi/Satyabhama , she wielded saranga to kill narakasura) 😊 (in general poetic usage,it also means flute, sparrow,something that can fly,run, like deer and entice like bees , flowers and elephants)
But he gives it away to Varuna for safekeeping… as it will be required later for krishna (that is how Satyabhama wields it).👍🏼
Dhanush referred here could be the bow that Ramji broke to marry Sita … no one else could
