Devanagari script

विसर्जयामास तदा रल्नै: संतोष्य सर्वशः । फिर श्रीरघुनाथजीने यथासमय सबको अपने पास बुलाकर सबका यथायोग्य आदर- सत्कार किया तथा रत्नोंकी भेंटसे संतुष्ट करके सभी वानरों और रीछोंको बिदा किया

Transliteration

visarjayāmāsa tadā ratnaiḥ santoṣya sarvaśaḥ |

Translation

Then he dismissed them, having fully satisfied everyone with gifts of jewels. Ethically, the act underscores a ruler’s duty to honor allies and dependents with timely hospitality and appropriate rewards, sending them away content rather than exploited or neglected.
