The Establishment of Vāmana at Kānyakubja and the Sanctification of Setu
न मे स्वर्गो बहुमतस्त्वया हीनस्य राघव । तारितोहं त्वया पुत्र प्राप्तोऽस्मीन्द्रसलोकताम्
na me svargo bahumatastvayā hīnasya rāghava | tāritohaṃ tvayā putra prāpto'smīndrasalokatām
โอ้ ราฆวะ เมื่อข้าพเจ้าขาดเจ้า แม้สวรรค์ก็หาได้มีค่าไม่ แต่ลูกเอ๋ย เจ้าได้ช่วยข้าพเจ้าให้พ้น และข้าพเจ้าก็บรรลุถึงอินทรโลก
Uncertain from the single verse (context needed to identify the exact speaker); the voice addresses Rāghava (Rāma) as 'son' and credits him as rescuer.
Concept: Love and belonging outweigh even celestial pleasures; true ‘deliverance’ is relational and dharmic, not merely locational.
Application: Measure success by meaningful bonds and virtue rather than prestige; cultivate gratitude toward those who uplift you.

FAQs
It implies that even Svarga is insignificant when separated from the beloved/devotional focus (here, Rāghava), highlighting an inner hierarchy where relationship and grace outrank heavenly reward.
The speaker attributes rescue and attainment of Indra’s realm directly to Rāghava—framing liberation/fruit as coming through the Lord’s (or divine hero’s) saving action rather than mere personal effort.
Gratitude and humility: the speaker openly credits the benefactor for their upliftment, modeling acknowledgment of help received and valuing virtuous relationships over material or celestial gains.
