Raghuvara’s Royal Consecration
Rāma’s Coronation and Familial Reconciliation
दैत्यादेवास्तथा नागा यक्षासुरमहोरगाः । सर्वे न्यायपथे स्थित्वा रामाज्ञां शिरसा दधुः
daityādevāstathā nāgā yakṣāsuramahoragāḥ | sarve nyāyapathe sthitvā rāmājñāṃ śirasā dadhuḥ
Para Daitya, Deva, Naga, Yaksha, Asura dan ular-ular besar—semuanya teguh di jalan dharma lalu menjunjung titah Rama di atas kepala dengan penuh hormat.

FAQs
The verse portrays Rāma’s authority as dharma-grounded and universally compelling—so even mutually opposed classes (Devas and Asuras) align when established on the path of justice (nyāya-patha).
It is an idiom of reverence and willing submission—accepting an instruction as supreme, honoring it as one would honor something sacred.
Legitimate authority is portrayed as inseparable from righteousness: when one stands in justice, harmony and compliance arise across different beings and factions.
