Departure from Ayodhya; Civic Lament and the Chariot’s Urgency
ररथमारोह भद्रं ते राजपुत्र महायशः ।
क्षिप्रं त्वां प्रापयिष्यामि यत्र मां राम वक्ष्यसि ॥११॥
rathaṃ āroha bhadraṃ te rājaputra mahāyaśaḥ |
kṣipraṃ tvāṃ prāpayiṣyāmi yatra māṃ rāma vakṣyasi ||11||
“Wahai putera raja yang masyhur, semoga sejahtera atasmu—naiklah ke kereta. Aku akan segera membawamu ke mana sahaja, wahai Rāma, yang engkau perintahkan.”
O Illustrious prince, wish you well! Mount the chariot. I shall convey you speedily whereever you want.
Dharma of faithful service: Sumantra offers prompt assistance, subordinating his will to Rāma’s righteous direction.
Sumantra invites Rāma to board the chariot and promises to drive him quickly wherever Rāma commands.
Loyalty and readiness to serve—speed and obedience guided by respect.
