अनुरूपस्स वै नाथो लक्ष्मीवान् लक्ष्मणाग्रजः। त्रैलोक्यमपि नाथेन येन स्यान्नाथवत्तरम्

anurūpassa vai nātho lakṣmīvān lakṣmaṇāgrajaḥ| trailokyamapi nāthena yena syānnāthavattaram

Translation (English)

With him (Rama) as ruler, all the three worlds will also have a better protector.That elder brother of Lakshmana with signs of greatness is certainly the most befitting to rule this kingdom.

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

With Rama as ruler, even the three worlds will have a better protector. The statement expands the scope of the coronation beyond Ayodhya — Rama's rule will benefit heaven and earth alike. Lakshmana's mention as 'that elder brother of Lakshmana' reframes Rama through the devotion of his brother.
