Valmiki Ramayana · Ayodhya Kanda · Sarga 2
गुणान् गुणवतो देव देवकल्पस्य धीमतः। प्रियानानन्दनान्कृत्स्नान्प्रवक्ष्यामोऽद्य तान् शृणु
guṇān guṇavato deva devakalpasya dhīmataḥ| priyānānandanānkṛtsnānpravakṣyāmo'dya tān śṛṇu
O king, we shall now speak about those great virtues of the sagacious (Rama). Comparable to those of the gods, they are dear and a source of delight for every one. Please listen.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
The kings begin their own praise of Rama, matching Dasharatha's earlier description. The repetition is not redundancy but chorus — a kingdom affirming its future ruler from every voice. Each virtue they name strengthens the case for immediate coronation.
