Meaning
The sarga ends in puṣpitāgrā, and on a word of instruction. A-hārya, not to be taken away: of all the treasures that have been weighed against peace, this is the one no thief or enemy can touch. Ārya-gupta, guarded by the noble, says that it has come down carefully, from those who kept it. Kramam anupālaya, keep to the order. It is a path others have walked, and it now reaches Rāma.
