- "Born in Ikshwaku dynasty you are apparently the other god of ethics on earth, a staunch one with righteous vows and a glorious one too, such as you are, it will be unapt of you to forsake ethics. - [1-21-6]
- In three worlds you are renowned as the right-minded one, oh, Raghava, hence adhere to your own uprightness, and adhering to unrighteousness will be unapt of you. - [1-21-7]
- O Dasharatha, a promise made and not kept, amounts to destruction of merits earned through previous pieties. Therefore send Rama (with him). - [1-21-8]
- Whether Rama is trained in weaponry or not, demons cannot trounce Rama as long as Kushi's son Vishvamitra protects him, like the heavenly firewall that protects divine nectar. - [1-21-9]
