Ramayana 2.44.4

यस्तवार्ये गतः पुत्रस्त्यक्त्वा राज्यं महाबलः।साधु कुर्वन् महात्मानं पितरं सत्यवादिनम्।।2.44.3।।शिष्टैराचरिते सम्यक्छश्वत्प्रेत्यफलोदये।रामो धर्मे स्थित श्रेष्ठो न स शोच्यः कदाचन।।2.44.4।।

yas tavārye gataḥ putras tyaktvā rājyaṃ mahābalaḥ | sādhu kurvan mahātmānaṃ pitaraṃ satyavādinam || śiṣṭair ācarite samyak śaśvat pretya-phalodaye | rāmo dharme sthitaḥ śreṣṭho na sa śocyaḥ kadācana ||

O noble lady, your mighty son has departed after renouncing the kingdom, to uphold the righteous, truth-speaking word of his great-souled father. Rāma stands established in dharma—the excellent path rightly practiced by the virtuous, whose enduring fruits ripen in the world beyond; therefore Rāma is never to be mourned.
