Harmlessness, compassion, learning, good conduct, restraint of senses and selfcontrol, all these six qualities adorn Rama, the greatest among men. [2-33-12]
Just as severed at the root, an entire tree along with its fruits and flowers is destroyed, similarly the whole world gets afflicted when Rama, the ruler of the world, comes to harm. [2-33-14]
मूलं ह्येष मनुष्याणां धर्मसारो महाद्युतिः | पुष्पं फलं च पत्रं च शाखाश्चास्येतरे जनाः || २-३३-१५
Effulgent Rama personifies the essence of dharma. He is the root of (the tree of) humanity. The other people are connected with this tree like flowers, fruit, leaves and branches. [2-33-15]
