The Establishment of Vāmana at Kānyakubja and the Sanctification of Setu
न मे स्वर्गो बहुमतस्त्वया हीनस्य राघव । तारितोहं त्वया पुत्र प्राप्तोऽस्मीन्द्रसलोकताम्
na me svargo bahumatastvayā hīnasya rāghava | tāritohaṃ tvayā putra prāpto'smīndrasalokatām
Wahai Rāghava, tanpa engkau syurga pun tidak bernilai bagiku. Namun, wahai anakku, engkau telah menyelamatkanku, dan aku pun mencapai Indraloka, alam Indra.
Uncertain from the single verse (context needed to identify the exact speaker); the voice addresses Rāghava (Rāma) as 'son' and credits him as rescuer.
Concept: Love and belonging outweigh even celestial pleasures; true ‘deliverance’ is relational and dharmic, not merely locational.
Application: Measure success by meaningful bonds and virtue rather than prestige; cultivate gratitude toward those who uplift you.

FAQs
It implies that even Svarga is insignificant when separated from the beloved/devotional focus (here, Rāghava), highlighting an inner hierarchy where relationship and grace outrank heavenly reward.
The speaker attributes rescue and attainment of Indra’s realm directly to Rāghava—framing liberation/fruit as coming through the Lord’s (or divine hero’s) saving action rather than mere personal effort.
Gratitude and humility: the speaker openly credits the benefactor for their upliftment, modeling acknowledgment of help received and valuing virtuous relationships over material or celestial gains.
