Lord of the people Rama with his divine virtues is equal to Indra. He with his proven valour is exceptional among all the descendents of the Iksvakus.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Rama is equal to Indra in divine virtues and exceptional in proven valour. The assembly frames him as both divinely blessed and battle-tested — a ruler who commands by nature and by achievement. He has earned the throne twice over.
