Valmiki Ramayana · Ayodhya Kanda · Sarga 1
कल्याणाभिजन स्साधुरदीन स्सत्यवागृजुः। वृद्धैरभिविनीतश्च द्विजैर्धर्मार्थदर्शिभिः
kalyāṇābhijana ssādhuradīna ssatyavāgṛjuḥ| vṛddhairabhivinītaśca dvijairdharmārthadarśibhiḥ
Born in a family of noble descent, he was saintly. A man without meanness.He was truthful and a man of rectitude. The training he received under aged brahmins conversant with dharma and artha made him welldisciplined.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Rama is born of noble descent yet remains saintly and without meanness. Truthfulness and compassion define him. The verse links his aristocratic birth with personal humility — he has every reason to be proud and no inclination toward it.
