एवमुक्ते तु रामेण त्यक्त्वा रूपं जुगुप्सितं । दिव्यं रूपं समास्थाय मद्गृहं चागमिष्यसि
evamukte tu rāmeṇa tyaktvā rūpaṃ jugupsitaṃ | divyaṃ rūpaṃ samāsthāya madgṛhaṃ cāgamiṣyasi
Apabila Rāma berkata demikian, engkau akan meninggalkan rupa yang menjijikkan; dengan menyandang rupa ilahi, engkau juga akan datang ke dhāmaku.

FAQs
It presents transformation through divine instruction: after Rāma’s declaration, the addressee is foretold to abandon a degraded state and attain a divine form, culminating in reaching the speaker’s abode.
Yes. The phrase “assuming a divine form” and “you will come to my abode” implies elevation from an impure condition to a blessed, divine destination—language commonly associated with salvation or entry into a higher realm.
Even a fallen or “repulsive” condition is not final; through contact with righteous speech and divine grace, one can renounce harmful states and move toward purity and a higher spiritual goal.
