पुष्पकविमानयात्रा—सेतुबन्धादि-दर्शनम् (Pushpaka Aerial Journey and Survey of Sacred Landmarks)
ताभिःसहोत्थितंशीघ्रंविमानंप्रेक्ष्यराघवः ।।।।ऋष्यमूकसमीपेतुवैदेहींपुनरब्रवीत् ।
tābhiḥ sahotthitaṃ śīghraṃ vimānaṃ prekṣya rāghavaḥ | ṛṣyamūkasamīpe tu vaidehīṃ punar abravīt ||
When Rāghava saw the vimāna swiftly rise with them aboard, and as it drew near Ṛṣyamūka, he spoke once more to Vaidehī.
After Rama and all others ascended and Pushpaka rose up speedily over the Rshyamuka, gazing at Rshyamuka, Rama spoke toVaidehi.
Dharma here appears as remembrance with responsibility: Rāma does not treat the return as mere victory, but as a mindful re-tracing of events that led to restoring justice and truth.
After the war, Rāma and Sītā travel in the Puṣpaka aerial car, nearing Ṛṣyamūka; Rāma begins pointing out important places from their earlier journey.
Rāma’s steadiness and reflective leadership—he recalls the path of duty and the alliances formed to uphold righteousness.
