यौवराज्याभिषेक-उपकल्पनम्
Preparations for Rama’s Installation as Yuvaraja
यतस्त्वया प्रजाश्चेमा स्स्वगुणैरनुरञ्जिताः।।।।तस्मात्त्वं पुष्ययोगेन यौवराज्यमवाप्नुहि।
yatas tvayā prajāś cemāḥ svaguṇair anurañjitāḥ |
tasmāt tvaṃ puṣyayogena yauvarājyam avāpnuhi ||
Puesto que con tus propias virtudes has conquistado el corazón de estos súbditos, por ello, cuando la Luna se una a Puṣya, asume el cargo de yuvarāja, heredero al trono.
As you have endeared yourself to these subjects with your virtues, you shall assume the office of heirapparent when Pushya star is in conjunction with the Moon.
Leadership is grounded in virtue and public trust: the right to rule is linked to having genuinely benefited and pleased the people through good qualities.
Daśaratha formally tells Rāma he will be installed as heir-apparent at an astrologically auspicious time (Puṣya conjunction).
Rāma’s ability to win the loyalty of subjects through svaguṇa—personal excellence and righteous conduct.
