sarvaśāstrārthatattvajñaḥ smṛtimān pratibhānavān |
sarvalokapriyaḥ sādhuḥ adīnātmā vicakṣaṇaḥ ||1.1.15||
他洞悉一切论典(śāstra)的真实旨趣,具足不失的记忆与敏锐的慧悟;为众人所爱,端正良善,心志不屈,行事明辨。
Auspicious like Brahma, Sri Rama is the sustainer of this world, destroyer of enemies and protector of all living beings and of the moral code.
Dharma requires discernment and steadiness: right action depends on insight, memory of principles, and emotional resilience under pressure.
Nārada elaborates Rāma’s inner qualities—intellect, popularity rooted in goodness, and stability of mind.
Vicakṣaṇatā (prudence/discrimination) and adīnatā (undaunted spirit), enabling ethical decisions even amid hardship.
