अद्य प्रकृतयस्सर्वास्त्वामिच्छन्ति नराधिपम्। अतस्त्वां युवराजानमभिषेक्ष्यामि पुत्रक

adya prakṛtayassarvāstvāmicchanti narādhipam| atastvāṃ yuvarājānamabhiṣekṣyāmi putraka

Translation (English)

Today all the subjects expresed their desire to see you as their king. Therefore, my dear son, I wish to coronate you heirapparent.

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

The people have spoken: they want Rama as their king. Dasharatha is not imposing his will but fulfilling the collective desire of the kingdom. The coronation is the convergence of the king's wish, the people's voice, and the gods' will. Everything aligns.
