रामवद्व्यवहर्तव्यं न रावणविलासवत् ।
इति यत्र धियां ज्ञानं हस्ते फलमिवार्पितम् ॥ २३ ॥

rāmavadvyavahartavyaṃ na rāvaṇavilāsavat |
iti yatra dhiyāṃ jñānaṃ haste phalamivārpitam || 23 ||

This work presents the conduct of Rama for the imitation of the men, and sets the misbehaviour of Ravana to the opprobrium of mankind. This precept contains the essence of all wisdom, and serves as the luscious fruit of the tree of knowledge, placed in the palm of all people.
