मयाप्याचरितं पूर्वैः पन्थानमनुगच्छता।

taṃ deva devopamam ātmajaṃ te sarvasya lokasya hite niviṣṭam | hitāya naḥ kṣipram udārajuṣṭaṃ mudā ’bhiṣektuṃ varada tvam arhasi || 2.2.54 ||
O boon-giver, you ought—joyfully and without delay—to consecrate your son as heir-apparent: godlike among men, devoted to the welfare of the whole world and inclined to noble virtues, for our good.
Following the path of my forefathers I protected the people to the best of my ability by being ever vigilant.
Dharma as timely, rightful succession: installing a universally beneficial, noble heir preserves social order and protects truth-centered governance.
The people formally urge Daśaratha to perform Rama’s abhiṣeka as yuvarāja, emphasizing Rama’s commitment to universal welfare.
Udāratā (nobility/generosity) and loka-hita-niṣṭhā (steadfast dedication to the world’s welfare), presented as the hallmark of Rama’s fitness to rule.
