अनुद्धतमनाः विद्वान्धर्मात्मा भ्रातृवत्सलः। यथा च भ्रातृषु स्निग्धस्तथाऽस्मास्वपि राघवः
anuddhatamanāḥ vidvāndharmātmā bhrātṛvatsalaḥ| yathā ca bhrātṛṣu snigdhastathā'smāsvapi rāghavaḥ
This scion of the Raghus (Rama) is free from arrogance, is learned, righteous and affectionate towards his brothers as much as towards us.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Rama is free from arrogance, learned, righteous, and affectionate to his brothers. The people's description matches the epic's own. They see him clearly. Their love is not blind but discerning — they love him because he is worthy of love, not because he is their prince.
