"O ascetic Kausika, may prosperity be to you! All devatas have been gratified by this act (of Rama) and have expressed their love for Rama.
Dharma is the proper rewarding of merit: a teacher should recognize righteous service and strengthen the student through blessing and empowerment.
The gods, pleased with Rāma’s deed, ask Viśvāmitra to show special favor toward him.
Gracious acknowledgement—responding to dharmic action with blessing and support.
