Raghuvara’s Royal Consecration
Rāma’s Coronation and Familial Reconciliation
इति सा विललापोच्चै रघुनाथस्मृतिं गता । न निवेद निजं किंचित्परकीयं विमोहिता । सुमुखोऽपि तथा दृष्ट्वा दुःखितां मातरं भृशम्
iti sā vilalāpoccai raghunāthasmṛtiṃ gatā | na niveda nijaṃ kiṃcitparakīyaṃ vimohitā | sumukho'pi tathā dṛṣṭvā duḥkhitāṃ mātaraṃ bhṛśam
So klagte sie laut, ganz versunken im Gedenken an Raghunātha (Rāma). Von dem, was einem anderen gehörte, betört, offenbarte sie nichts von dem, was ihr eigen war. Und auch Sumukha, als er seine Mutter so überaus bekümmert sah, wurde tief ergriffen.
Narrator (third-person narration within the chapter)
Concept: Rāma-smṛti can dominate consciousness amid grief; yet delusion (vimoha) and misidentification (‘parakīya’) can obstruct truthful self-expression—calling for clarity and surrender.
Application: When overwhelmed, pause before acting or speaking; return to steady remembrance (nāma) and truthful communication, especially within family relationships.
