सुचि सुजान नृप कहहिं हमहि अस सूझई।
तेज प्रताप रूप जहँ तहँ बल बूझई॥
Those kings who were wise, practical, and dispassionate in their hearts, said, ‘It appears to us that wherever there is glory, majesty, fame and beauty, the virtues of strength and valour are also present there.
(In the assembly of invited kings there were some who realised that Sita was too young for them, and Ram was a perfect match for her. So, when they saw that other kings were getting restless and eager to grab the first chance to break the bow in order to marry Sita, these wise kings admonished and rebuked them. They remarked that the person, who is so charming and majestic to look at, a reference to Lord Ram, is also strong enough to lift the bow. They implied that none of the kings had the charm and majesty that Lord Ram had, and they aren’t strong enough to lift Lord Shiva’s bow. Therefore, why don’t they sit down quietly instead of shuffling excitedly on their seats; why don’t they come to their senses and avoid proving themselves impotent and lesser in strength by not attempting to lift the bow and making their incompetence and irrelevance evident?)
