Lord Rāmacandra’s Charity, Sītā’s Departure, and the Lord’s Return to Vaikuṇṭha
बुभुजे च यथाकालं कामान् धर्ममपीडयन् । वर्षपूगान् बहून् नृणामभिध्याताङ्घ्रिपल्लव: ॥ ३६ ॥
bubhuje ca yathā-kālaṁ kāmān dharmam apīḍayan varṣa-pūgān bahūn nṝṇām abhidhyātāṅghri-pallavaḥ
罗摩旃陀罗主——其莲足为奉献者于禅观中礼拜——不违背达摩,随时而行,历经多年享受一切超然乐具。
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Ninth Canto, Eleventh Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Lord Rāmacandra Rules the World.”
This verse states that the ideal ruler enjoys lawful pleasures only in their proper time and manner, never injuring dharma—showing that kama is meant to be governed by righteousness.
Śrī Rāmacandra is described as ‘abhidhyāta-aṅghri-pallavaḥ’—the Lord whose tender lotus-feet are meditated upon by devotees.
Pursue enjoyment and success with self-control and ethics: keep duties and principles first, and let pleasures be regulated rather than harmful to one’s values or others.
