Chapter 72 — Bala Kanda, Sarga 72

Valmiki Ramayana — Bala Kanda

Verse 72.16

युवामसंख्येयगुणौ भ्रातरौ मिथिलेश्वरौ। ऋषयो राजसङ्घाश्च भवद्भयामभिपूजिताः॥

yuvāmasaṃkhyeyaguṇau bhrātarau mithileśvarau| ṛṣayo rājasaṅghāśca bhavadbhayāmabhipūjitāḥ||

English Meaning

Countless are the excellences that pertain to you brothers, lords of Mithilā; and saints and sovereigns are honoured by you,* auspiciousness be yours. *The commentator here seems to be in fault. He ever explains-By you have your royal ancestors been honoured. Evidently an error. I differ from him. The particle ca (and) makes the point clear.
