Hanūmān’s Vast Form and Instruction on Dharma–Statecraft
दशवर्षसहस्राणि दशवर्षशतानि च । राज्यं कारितवान् रामस्ततः स्वभवनं गत:,श्रीरामजीने ग्यारह हजार वर्षोतक इस पृथ्वीपर राज्य किया, फिर वे अपने परमधामको चले गये

قال فايشَمبايانا: إنّ راما أقام تدبير المملكة عشرة آلاف سنة، وزاد عليها مئةَ عقدٍ؛ ثم انصرف إلى مقامه الإلهيّ الخاص.

Educational Q&A
The verse presents the model of dharmic kingship: a ruler sustains long-term social order through righteous governance, and ultimately relinquishes worldly power, pointing to the ethical ideal that sovereignty is a duty, not a possession.
Vaiśampāyana briefly summarizes Rāma’s reign as extraordinarily long and stable, and then notes his departure to his own abode—marking the completion of his earthly kingship and the transition beyond mortal life.
