Valmiki Ramayana · Ayodhya Kanda · Sarga 2
विदितं भवतामेतद्यथा मे राज्यमुत्तमम्। पूर्वकैर्मम राजेन्द्रैस्सुतवत्परिपालितम्
viditaṃ bhavatāmetadyathā me rājyamuttamam| pūrvakairmama rājendraissutavatparipālitam
It is wellknown to all of you that people of this greatest kingdom were ruled by my predecessors who were great kings, who looked after the subjects as though they were their own children.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
The king declares his desire to accomplish the welfare of the entire world. The scale is cosmic — not just Ayodhya but all creation. Rama's rule is framed not as a political transition but as a gift to the universe. The language elevates the coronation beyond ceremony to divine necessity.
