Adhiratha-Rādhā Discover the Casket; Vasuṣeṇa (Karṇa) is Adopted and Formed
यथागतेन मार्गेण प्रययौ स्वपुरं प्रति । इसके बाद लक्ष्मण तथा सुग्रीव आदिके साथ श्रीरामचन्द्रजी जिस मार्गसे आये थे, उसीके द्वारा अपनी राजधानी अयोध्याकी ओर प्रस्थित हुए
yathāgatena mārgeṇa prayayau svapuraṃ prati |
അതിനു ശേഷം ലക്ഷ്മണനും സുഗ്രീവാദികളും കൂടെ, ശ്രീരാമചന്ദ്രൻ താൻ വന്ന അതേ വഴിയിലൂടെ തന്നെ തന്റെ നഗരമായ അയോധ്യയിലേക്കു പുറപ്പെട്ടു।
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
The verse highlights dharmic steadfastness: completing one’s undertaken course without deviation, returning with due regard for the path, the vow, and the companions who enabled success—an ethical image of responsibility and restoration after hardship.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that Rāma departs for his own capital, proceeding toward Ayodhyā by the same route he had previously traveled, with companions such as Lakṣmaṇa and Sugrīva accompanying him.
