But he that, setting his heart on protecting the people, dose ever carefully protect all the inhabitants of his dominions, like his own life or like his son dearer to him than life itself, repeat, O Rāma, enduring renown extending over many years, and (at length) attaining the regions of Brahmā, is glorified there.
युञ्जानः स्वानिव प्राणान् प्राणैरिष्टान् सुतानिव। नित्ययुक्तः सदा रक्षन् सर्वान् विषयवासिनः॥ प्राप्नोति साश्वती राम कीर्तिं स बहुवार्षिकीम्। ब्रह्मणः स्थानमासाद्य तत्र चापि महीयते॥
