What it means
Rama gained more love by giving up the crown than he would have by taking it. Integrity, especially when it costs you, earns deeper respect than power ever can.हिंदी में अर्थ
राम जितना अधिक धर्म पर अडिग रहे, प्रजा उतना ही अधिक उन्हें अपना राजा चाहने लगी।
राम ने राज्य छोड़कर उससे ज़्यादा प्रेम पाया जितना लेकर पाते। कीमत चुकाकर भी ईमानदार रहना सत्ता से ज़्यादा सम्मान दिलाता है।
