गुणप्रशंसा–युवराजनिर्णयः
Praise of Rama’s Virtues and the Decision on the Heir-Apparent
कुलोचितमतिः क्षात्रं धर्मं स्वं बहुमन्यते।मन्यते परया कीर्त्या महत्स्वर्गफलं ततः।।।।
kulocita-matiḥ kṣātraṃ dharmaṃ svaṃ bahu-manyate | manyate parayā kīrtyā mahat svarga-phalaṃ tataḥ ||
कुलोचितमतिः क्षात्रं धर्मं स्वं बहुमन्यते। परया कीर्त्या महत्स्वर्गफलं ततः मन्यते॥
He entertained thoughts befitting his (great) dynasty and honoured the code of conduct of a kshatriya. He believed one could attain heavenly abode through his great achievements.
Role-based dharma: a kṣatriya honours duty and righteous achievement, seeing fame not as vanity but as the social recognition of dharmic action.
The narrator frames Rāma as an exemplary heir, committed to the responsibilities of his warrior-royal station.
Commitment to duty and disciplined ambition—seeking honour through righteous deeds rather than selfish gain.
