Srimad Valmiki Ramayana
एवम् उक्तः तु वचनम् रामः धर्मभृताम् वरः ।
भूयः ताम् अब्रवीद् वाक्यम् मातरम् भृश दुह्खिताम् ॥ ॥२-२४-१४॥
evam uktaḥ tu vacanam rāmaḥ dharmabhṛtām varaḥ । bhūyaḥ tām abravīd vākyam mātaram bhṛśa duhkhitām ॥ ॥2-24-14॥
Translation
Having been spoken to thus (having received her agreement), Rama, the foremost among the upholders of Dharma, spoke again to his deeply sorrowful mother.
हिंदी अनुवाद
माता द्वारा ऐसा वचन कहे जाने पर, धर्मज्ञों में श्रेष्ठ राम ने अपनी अत्यंत दुखी माता से पुनः यह वाक्य कहा।
English Commentary
Although Kausalya has agreed, her sorrow remains intense ('bhrisha duhkhitam'). Rama, described as 'Dharmabhritam varah' (best among those who uphold Dharma), realizes that mere agreement is not enough; his mother needs further consolation and clear direction to sustain her resolve. He does not abruptly end the conversation but speaks again to reinforce the principles of duty. This verse acts as a bridge, showing Rama's compassion; he acknowledges her pain even as he prepares to deliver his final instructions regarding her conduct towards the King and the hierarchy of the family.
हिंदी टीका
यद्यपि कौशल्या मान गई हैं, फिर भी उनका दुःख कम नहीं हुआ है ('भृश दुह्खिताम्')। राम, जो 'धर्मभृताम् वरः' (धर्म को धारण करने वालों में श्रेष्ठ) हैं, जानते हैं कि केवल सहमति काफी नहीं है; माता को सांत्वना और दिशा-निर्देश की आवश्यकता है। वे बातचीत को यहीं समाप्त नहीं करते बल्कि अपनी बात को और सुदृढ़ करते हैं ताकि भविष्य में माता का संकल्प न डगमगाए। यह श्लोक एक संयोजक (connector) का कार्य करता है जो माता की स्वीकृति और राम के अंतिम उपदेश को जोड़ता है।
