यत्र रामो गतः स्वर्ग सभृत्यबलवाहन: । स च वीरो महाराज तस्य तीर्थस्य तेजसा

就在那处，罗摩（Rāma）携侍从、军旅与车乘一同升入天界。噢，大王！那位英雄罗摩，凭借那神圣渡口（tīrtha）的灵威，抵达了他永恒的归宿。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the sanctifying efficacy (tejas) of a tīrtha: contact with a holy place, approached with reverence and right conduct, is portrayed as capable of elevating even one’s final destiny. It also presents Rāma as an exemplar whose departure is framed as a spiritually meaningful ascent rather than a merely physical end.
The speaker points out a particular sacred location associated with Rāma’s departure to svarga/eternal abode. Rāma is described as going there together with his attendants, troops, and conveyances, and by the power of that tīrtha he attains his transcendent destination.
