Sūrya’s Counsel to Karṇa on Kīrti and the Kuṇḍala
ब्रृहि कि ते करोम्यत्र साहाय्यं पुरुषर्षभ । ऐक्ष्वाको हास्मि ते ज्ञातिरिति रामस्तमब्रवीत्,“नरश्रेष्ठ! कहो, मैं यहाँ तुम्हारी क्या सहायता करूँ? सगरपुत्रोंसे संवर्धित होनेके कारण मैं भी इक्ष्वाकुवंशीय तथा तुम्हारा भाई-बन्धु हूँ"। यह सुनकर श्रीरामचन्द्रजीने उससे कहा --
brūhi kiṃ te karomy atra sāhāyyaṃ puruṣarṣabha | aikṣvāko 'ham asmi te jñātir iti rāmas tam abravīt ||
罗摩对他说：“人中雄牛啊，告诉我——在此我当如何助你？我出自伊克什瓦库一族，亦是你的亲族；故当无所迟疑，直言相告。”在这番对话中，罗摩将援助视为基于同族血脉与正法相扶的责任，而非单纯的恩惠。

Educational Q&A
Aid should be offered as dharma grounded in rightful relationship and responsibility; Rama presents help as an obligation arising from kinship and noble conduct, not as a transactional favor.
In Markandeya’s narration, Rama addresses another person respectfully, asks what assistance is needed, and identifies himself as an Ikṣvāku kinsman—thereby authorizing and committing to support within a moral framework.
