tataḥ pratiyayau kāle vasiṣṭhaḥ saha tena vai | khyātāṃ purīm imāṃ lokeṣv ayodhyāṃ manujeśvara ||

The verse highlights acting in due time (kāla) and proceeding under the guidance of a revered authority (Vasiṣṭha). In dharma-oriented narratives, timely action and counsel from the wise support orderly kingship and right conduct.
Vasiṣṭha departs at the appropriate time together with the other person mentioned and they go to the famous city of Ayodhyā, described as renowned among the worlds, with the speaker addressing a 'lord of men' (a king).
