પિતાશ્રીની પ્રિય ઇચ્છાથી યુવરાજ્ય તેની પ્રતીક્ષા કરે છે; તારા આચરણથી પિતાશ્રી બંને લોકમાં સુખસમૃદ્ધિ પામે—એવું કરવું તારા માટે શક્ય છે.
Prince-regency is awaiting you because of our father's loving desire. See that through you (your actions) he is able to attain happiness in both the worlds.
Dharma links worldly governance with spiritual welfare: righteous conduct toward one’s father-king brings honor here and merit beyond, supporting ‘both worlds’ (ihaloka and paraloka).
Rama frames Bharata’s acceptance of duty as something that can relieve Dasharatha’s distress and secure his welfare.
Responsibility and service: placing the father’s peace and moral standing above personal ambition or resentment.
