Meaning
The kalpavṛkṣa gives whatever is asked of it, and the list runs from the worldly to the highest. Vasiṣṭha speaks to a prince who will rule. He does not tell Rāma that inquiry leads only beyond the world; the same clear seeing that frees also governs a kingdom well. Liberation is set apart from the rest by one word, śāśvata, lasting.
