सुमन्त्रदर्शनम् तथा रामस्य राजदर्शनाय प्रस्थानम्
Sumantra Meets Rama; Rama Departs to See the King
नूनं नन्दति ते माता कौशल्यामातृनन्दन।।।।पश्यन्ती सिद्धयात्रं त्वां पित्र्यं राज्यमवस्थितम्।
nūnaṃ nandati te mātā kauśalyāmātṛnandana |
paśyantī siddhayātraṃ tvāṃ pitryaṃ rājyam avasthitam ||
தாயின் மகிழ்வே! உன் தாய் கௌசல்யா நிச்சயமாக ஆனந்திப்பாள்; உன் வாழ்வுப் பயணம் நிறைவேறி, தந்தையின் அரசில் நீ உறுதியாக நிலைபெற்றதை அவள் காணும் போது।
On seeing (Sumantra) arriving, all of them, wellwishers to Rama, quickly rose from their seats.
The verse links dharma with rightful succession and filial legitimacy: a son established in the father’s kingdom is seen as the fulfillment of social and familial order.
Ayodhya’s women praise Rama as he passes, imagining Kausalyā’s joy at his secure standing in the paternal realm.
Rama as the ideal son and rightful heir—one whose life’s purpose is aligned with duty and kingship.
