Sumitra’s Consolation to Kausalya
कीर्तिभूतां पताकां यो लोके भ्रमयति प्रभुः।धर्मसत्यव्रतधनः किं न प्राप्तस्तवात्मजः।।।।
kīrtibhūtāṃ patākāṃ yo loke bhramayati prabhuḥ |
dharmasatyavratadhanaḥ kiṃ na prāptas tavātmajaḥ ||
Con trai của ngài, bậc có uy lực, lấy Dharma, chân thật và giới nguyện làm gia tài, đang khiến lá cờ danh tiếng bay khắp thế gian—một người con như thế còn điều gì chưa đạt?

True wealth is ethical integrity: dharma, satya, and faithful observance of vows are presented as higher than material gain.
Sumantrā consoles/assures Daśaratha by praising Rāma’s moral stature and worldwide renown even amid exile.
Rāma’s truthfulness and vow-keeping (satya-vrata) as the foundation of his greatness.
