सम्यग्योक्ता श्रेयसां च न विगृह्य कथारुचिः।।2.2.42।। उत्तरोत्तरयुक्तौ च वक्ता वाचस्पतिर्यथा।

samyagyoktā śreyasāṃ ca na vigṛhya kathāruciḥ uttarottarayuktau ca vaktā vācaspatiryathā|

Translation (English)

He helps those who take refuge in him. He is not interested in conversation leading to dissentions. But during debates he is eloquent like Brihaspati (establing the truth on the basis of reasoning).

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

Rama helps those who take refuge in him and avoids conversation that creates division. The two qualities are connected: one who protects the vulnerable and avoids gossip is a ruler who builds unity rather than exploiting difference.
