Valmiki Ramayana · Ayodhya Kanda · Sarga 2
राजप्रभावजुष्टां हि दुर्वहामजितेन्द्रियैः। परिश्रान्तोऽस्मि लोकस्य गुर्वीं धर्मधुरं वहन्
rājaprabhāvajuṣṭāṃ hi durvahāmajitendriyaiḥ| pariśrānto'smi lokasya gurvīṃ dharmadhuraṃ vahan
I am weary of carrying on the heavy burden of duty and find it difficult to sustain the rule of dharma. It can be shouldered by those who have royal qualities (of might, courage etc) and not by those who have not controlled their senses.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Dasharatha lays out his plan to the assembly, seeking their approval. Even as king, he respects the consent of the governed. The verse presents an ideal of consultative monarchy: power is transferred not by force but by collective agreement.
