इमे चापि हया वीर यदि ते वनवासिनः।परिचर्यां करिष्यन्ति प्राप्स्यन्ति परमां गतिम्।।2.52.53।।
ime cāpi hayā vīra yadi te vanavāsinaḥ |
paricaryāṃ kariṣyanti prāpsyanti paramāṃ gatim ||2.52.53||
Hỡi bậc anh hùng, nếu những tuấn mã này cũng được theo Ngài nơi rừng núi mà phụng sự, ắt chúng sẽ đạt đến cảnh giới tối thượng.
O valiant one, if these horses too could render services to you while you dwell in the forest, they would attain the supreme state.
Service to a dharmic person is portrayed as spiritually elevating; even humble agents (like animals) participate in dharma through supportive action.
Sumantra expands his plea by including the chariot-horses, suggesting that accompanying Rama benefits all who serve him.
Reverence for Rama’s righteousness and an inclusive view of merit—Sumantra imagines service as sanctifying for everyone involved.
