Raghuvara’s Royal Consecration
Rāma’s Coronation and Familial Reconciliation
जननीं वीक्ष्य विनयी ताटंकद्वयवर्जिताम् । कराकल्प पदाकल्परहितां बिभ्रतीं तनुम्
jananīṃ vīkṣya vinayī tāṭaṃkadvayavarjitām | karākalpa padākalparahitāṃ bibhratīṃ tanum
Pagkakita sa kanyang ina, ang mapagpakumbaba ay namasdan siyang wala ang pares ng hikaw, at taglay ang katawang salat sa mga palamuti sa kamay at sa mga palamuti sa paa.
Narrator (contextual; specific speaker not provided in the single-verse excerpt)
Concept: External ornaments are secondary; true dignity is in virtue, endurance, and humility—especially in the mother figure who bears hardship.
Application: Practice reverence toward parents/elders; reduce attachment to display; cultivate compassion when seeing someone in deprivation rather than judging.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: ताटंकद्वयवर्जिताम् = ताटङ्क-द्वय-वरजिताम् (समास); कराकल्प = कर-आकल्प; पदाकल्परहिताम् = पद-आकल्प-रहिताम्; ‘कराकल्प’ + ‘पदाकल्परहिताम्’ इत्यत्र अलङ्कार-रहितत्वस्य सूचीभावः।
A humble person looks at his mother and notices she is missing her earrings and other customary ornaments, suggesting hardship or renunciation.
It highlights humility and compassion through the observation of a mother’s deprived condition, setting a tone of concern and duty.
The absence of earrings and other ornaments can indicate either voluntary renunciation or material deprivation; the broader chapter context determines which is intended.
