Shloka 2.51.27
अयोध्याकाण्डे एकपञ्चाशः सर्गः — Guha’s Vigil and Lakṣmaṇa’s Lament (Night on the riverbank)
तथा हि सत्यं ब्रुवति प्रजाहितेनरेन्द्रपुत्रे गुरुसौहृदाद्गुहः।मुमोच बाष्पं व्यसनाभिपीडितोज्वरातुरो नाग इव व्यथातुरः।।।।
asya prasādād āśaṁse loke 'smin sumuhad yaśaḥ |
dharmāvāptiṁ ca vipulām arthāvāptiṁ ca kevalam ||
By Rama’s favor alone, I hope in this world to gain great renown—together with abundant attainment of dharma and the acquisition of artha as well.
Out of great friendship with Guha, Lakshmana thus told the true story of prince (Rama) in the interest of his subject (Guha). (On hearing it) Guha was deeply afflicted with grief and pain and began shedding tears like an elephant suffering from fever.ityārṣē śrīmadrāmāyaṇē vālmīkīya ādikāvyē ayōdhyakāṇḍē ēkapañcāśa ssargaḥ৷৷Thus ends the fiftyfirst sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
Dharma is presented as the primary, worthy gain; even artha and fame are framed as secondary fruits arising through association with a righteous person.
Guha expresses that serving Rama is spiritually and socially elevating, bringing dharma, honor, and legitimate prosperity.
Value-alignment: Guha sees success as meaningful only when rooted in dharma and earned through serving the righteous.
