सूर्येऽभ्युदितमात्रे श्वो भविता स्वस्तिवाचनम्। ब्राह्मणाश्च निमन्त्र्यन्तां कल्प्यन्तामासनानि च

sūrye'bhyuditamātre śvo bhavitā svastivācanam| brāhmaṇāśca nimantryantāṃ kalpyantāmāsanāni ca

Translation (English)

As soon as the Sun rises tomorrow, arrangements be made for Swastivachana (a benedictory utterance). Brahmins be invited and seats provided to them.

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

At sunrise, the Svastivācana (benedictory recitation) is to begin. The first light of day is the moment for sacred utterance. The timing connects the coronation to the daily rebirth of the sun — Rama's rule dawns with the universe's own rhythm.
