Devanagari script
पुष्पकं च विमानं तत् पूजयित्वा स राघव: । प्रादाद् वैश्रवणायैव प्रीत्या स रघुनन्दन:,इसके बाद उस पुष्पकविमानकी पूजा करके रघुनन्दन श्रीरामने उसे कुबेरको ही प्रेमपूर्वक लौटा दिया
Transliteration
puṣpakaṃ ca vimānaṃ tat pūjayitvā sa rāghavaḥ | prādād vaiśravaṇāyaiva prītyā sa raghunandanaḥ ||
Translation
Markandeya said: After reverently honoring that aerial chariot Puṣpaka, Rāghava—Raghu’s delight—gladly returned it to Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera). The episode highlights Rama’s restraint and righteousness: even after rightful use, he does not cling to a wondrous possession, but restores it to its proper owner with goodwill.
