Withdrawal of the Coronation: Rama’s Counsel to Lakshmana
सौमित्रे योऽभिषेकार्थे मम सम्भार सम्भ्रमः ।
अभिषेकनिवृत्त्यर्थे सोऽस्तु संभारसम्भ्रमः ॥५॥
saumitre yo ’bhiṣekārthe mama sambhāra-sambhramaḥ |
abhiṣeka-nivṛttyarthe so ’stu sambhāra-sambhramaḥ ||5||

Samatā (even-mindedness) and disciplined resolve—Rāma treats ascent and withdrawal with equal seriousness.
