Vasiṣṭha revealed Jābāli’s true attitude to Rāma and pacified Him. Then, to prove that only the eldest son of a king is fit to sit on the royal throne, Vasiṣṭha spoke about Rāma’s lineage from Brahmā to Daśaratha in order to point out that in each case, only the eldest son of a king had occupied the throne. Since this was the precedent without even a single exception, Vasiṣṭha requested Rāmacandra to accept the throne.
