पितृमरणश्रवणं जलक्रिया च
Hearing of Daśaratha’s death and the libation rites at Mandākinī
किं करिष्याम्ययोध्यायां ताते दिष्टां गतिं गते।कस्तां राजवराध्दीनामयोध्यां पालयिष्यति।।।।
kiṁ kariṣyāmy ayodhyāyāṁ tāte diṣṭāṁ gatiṁ gate |
kas tāṁ rājavarād hīnām ayodhyāṁ pālayiṣyati || 2.102.8 ||
我在阿踰陀(Ayodhyā)还能做什么呢,父亲啊,如今你已随命定之途而去?失去最上王者的阿踰陀,谁来守护?
What shall I do in Ayodhya now that my father has followed the path ordained by the gods? Who will rule that Ayodhya deprived of that best of kings?
Rajadharma (duty of governance): Rāma’s grief immediately turns to the ethical concern of who will protect the kingdom and uphold order.
Rāma, learning of Daśaratha’s passing, worries about Ayodhyā’s leadership and protection.
Public-minded responsibility—placing the welfare of the kingdom alongside personal sorrow.
