Shloka 2.16.38
सुमन्त्रदर्शनम् तथा रामस्य राजदर्शनाय प्रस्थानम् (Sumantra Meets Rama; Rama Departs to See the King)
रामं सर्वानवद्याङ्ग्यो रामपिप्रीषया ततः।।।।वचोभिरग्य्रैर्हर्म्यस्था क्षितिस्थाश्च ववन्दिरे।
te samīkṣya samāyāntaṃ rāmapriyacikīrṣavaḥ |
sahasotpatitāḥ sarve svāsanebhyaḥ sasambhramāḥ ||
Seeing Sumantra arrive, all those who wished for Rāma’s welfare sprang up at once from their seats in eager haste.
Women with faultless limbs standing on their housetops as well as on the ground paid their homage with charming words in order to propitiate Rama.
Respectful conduct toward elders and royal messengers, and prompt support for the righteous (here, goodwill toward Rama), are shown as socially dharmic behavior.
In Ayodhya, as Sumantra approaches, Rama’s supporters react immediately, rising from their seats to receive him.
Loyalty and readiness to serve Rama’s rightful welfare, expressed through courteous and prompt action.
