Raghuvara’s Royal Consecration
Rāma’s Coronation and Familial Reconciliation
धनदो ह्यर्थिनां रामः कारुण्यश्च कृपानिधिः । भ्रातृभिः सहितो नित्यं गुरुदेवस्तुतिं व्यधात्
dhanado hyarthināṃ rāmaḥ kāruṇyaśca kṛpānidhiḥ | bhrātṛbhiḥ sahito nityaṃ gurudevastutiṃ vyadhāt
Rāma sesungguhnya pemberi kekayaan kepada para pemohon; baginda jelmaan belas ihsan, khazanah rahmat. Sentiasa bersama saudara-saudaranya, baginda menunaikan puji-pujian kepada Guru dan Yang Ilahi.

Application: When you gain resources or authority, pair it with mercy and gratitude: honor teachers, maintain family unity, and make worship a daily anchor rather than a display.
