Context

Then Sumantra hastened towards the gate where he saw kings, wealthy people and citizens who had already arrived and waiting there.इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे चतुर्दशस्सर्गः।।Thus ends the fourteenth sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.

FAQs

Dharma is implied as the public dimension of rulership: kings and citizens gather in expectation of a legitimate royal rite, showing that righteous succession is a societal event, not merely a private decision.

As Sumantra reaches the palace gate, he sees assembled kings and wealthy citizens waiting—anticipating the coronation proceedings.

Civic responsibility and respect for royal order—people arrive in readiness for a major state ceremony.
