马尔坎德耶说道：在妥善安排楞迦城的守备与政务之后，具福德的圣罗摩——克己而坚定——在最杰出的群臣簇拥下启程。令悉多居前，又有罗什曼那、苏格利婆及诸位卓越的婆那罗首领随行，并有毗毗沙那与诸大臣佐辅；他登上华美的“普什帕迦”天车，此车随意而行、凌空而驰。凭此天车，他再次越过大海——摩伽罗之所居——从先前所筑堤桥之上飞越而过。随后抵达海滨，正是那位君王昔日曾安歇之处。

The passage highlights dharmic kingship: even after victory, a ruler must establish security and orderly administration, act with self-restraint (jitendriya), and honor allies and counsellors—showing that power is to be governed by discipline and responsibility.
After securing Laṅkā, Rāma departs with Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa, Sugrīva, Vibhīṣaṇa, and leading ministers. They ride the wish-moving Puṣpaka-vimāna, fly above the bridge-route, cross the ocean again, and arrive at the seashore where the king had earlier rested.
