tamāgatamṛṣiṃ rāmastvaranniva sasambhramaḥ| mānayiṣyansamānārhaṃ niścakrāma niveśanāt
Seeing the venerable sage(Vasitha) arrive, Rama quickly came out of his abode in great excitement to receive him with honour.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Rama sees Vasistha arriving and rushes out in great excitement. The prince's eagerness to receive his guru reveals his character: even on the verge of coronation, he remains a humble student, honoured by his teacher's visit. Power has not touched his humility.
