so 'bhiṣiktaḥ kapiśreṣṭha sugrīvaṃ sasuhṛjjanam | vibhīṣaṇaṃ ca paulastyam anvajānād gṛhān prati ||

Translation

Mārkaṇḍeya nói: Sau khi lễ đăng quang hoàn tất, Śrī Rāma—ngỏ lời với bậc nhất trong loài khỉ—đã cho Sugrīva cùng những người thân tín được cáo lui, và cũng cho Vibhīṣaṇa, hậu duệ dòng Pulastya, trở về, truyền họ quay lại nhà và cõi của mình. Về mặt đạo lý, khoảnh khắc ấy nêu bật phép trị quốc ngăn nắp của Rāma: biết ơn được tôn trọng, đồng minh được giải khỏi ràng buộc một cách trang trọng, và mỗi người được trả về đúng bổn phận trong vương quốc của mình.
