वाली–रामसंवादः
Rama’s Justification to Vali on Rājadharma
वयं तु भरतादेश विधिं कृत्वा हरीश्वर।त्वद्विधान्भिन्नमर्यादान्नियन्तुपर्यवस्थिताः।।
vayaṃ tu bharatādeśa-vidhiṃ kṛtvā harīśvara | tvadvidhān bhinnamaryādān niyantuṃ paryavasthitāḥ ||
O panginoon ng mga unggoy, tinanggap namin ang utos ni Bharata bilang aming tuntunin; kaya matatag kaming handang pigilan at parusahan ang mga tulad mo na lumabag sa hangganan ng wastong asal (maryādā).
'O Vali! we have to follow Bharata's command and are bent upon punishing those wicked people who deviate from the bounds of dharma.
Maryādā (ethical boundaries) must be protected; dharmic leadership involves restraining those who breach communal and familial norms.
Rama positions Vali’s punishment as consistent with established royal command and the need to uphold maryādā.
Steadfastness in duty: Rama emphasizes resolve to uphold dharma over personal hesitation.
