युधिष्ठिरकृष्णसंवादः — Yudhiṣṭhira’s Appeal and Kṛṣṇa’s Assurance
Droṇa-parva, Adhyāya 59
सर्वभूतमन:कान्तो रामो राज्यमकारयत् । भगवान् श्रीरामकी श्यामसुन्दर छवि, तरुण अवस्था और कुछ-कुछ अरुणाई लिये बड़ी-बड़ी आँखें थीं। उनकी चाल मतवाले हाथी-जैसी थी, भुजाएँ सुन्दर और घुटनोंतक लंबी थीं। कंधे सिंहके समान थे। उनमें महान् बल था। उनकी कान्ति समस्त प्राणियोंके मनको मोह लेनेवाली थी। उन्होंने ग्यारह हजार वर्षोतक राज्य किया था

Nārada said: Rāma—whose radiance captivates the minds of all beings—caused the kingdom to be governed. Dark-hued and beautiful, in the bloom of youth, with large eyes tinged faintly red, he moved like an intoxicated elephant; his arms were fair and long to the knees, his shoulders lion-like, and his strength immense. His splendor bewitched all creatures, and he ruled for eleven thousand years.
