ऋतवश्चैव षट्पुण्या मासास्संवत्सरास्तथा।कलाश्च काष्ठाश्च तथा तव शर्म दिशन्तु ते।।2.25.15।।
ṛtavaś caiva ṣaṭ-puṇyā māsāḥ saṃvatsarās tathā |
kalāś ca kāṣṭhāś ca tathā tava śarma diśantu te || 2.25.15 ||
May the six auspicious seasons, the months and the years, and even the minute measures of time—kalā and kāṣṭhā—grant you well-being.
May all the six pious seasons, months, years, kala and kashta contribute to your well-being!
Dharma is sustained through time: the blessing implies that righteous living is not momentary but maintained across seasons, years, and even the smallest instants.
The speaker extends protection into the dimension of time itself, wishing Rāma welfare throughout the long duration of exile.
Perseverance: the capacity to keep dharma and truth intact not only in crisis, but over prolonged periods.
