The above sloka is said by crying Sitadevi thinking that Shri Ram was killed by Ravana

कामम् आर्यह् सुपर्याप्तो वधाय अस्य दुरात्मनह् |

विधमिष्याम्य् अहम् नीचम् अनुजानीहि माम् विभो || -  Yuddha Kanda

Here, Arya means  - Excellence (noble) / உன்னதமான (பண்புள்ள)

O, noble Brother! Of my own interest, I am able to kill this wretched Ravana. O, Lord! I shall slay him. Permit me to do so.

ஓ, உன்னத சகோதரா! என் சொந்த விருப்பத்தின் பேரில், இந்த கேடுகெட்ட ராவணனை என்னால் கொல்ல முடியும்

The above sloka is said by Lakshmana to Rama

आर्यपुत्रौ अतिक्रम्य कस्मात् पृच्छसि मारुतिम् ।

नैव राजनि सुग्रीवे नाङ्गदे नापि राघवे ।

आर्य सन्दर्शितः स्नेहो यथा वायुसुते परः ॥

Here, Arya means  - Excellence (noble) / உன்னதமான (பண்புள்ள)

Why do you enquire about Hanuman, passing over the Noble son of Dasaratha? O Noble one! The exceptional affection, you are showing towards Hanuma, is not being even shown towards Sugreeva or Angada or even Rama?.

உன்னதமானவரே! சுக்ரீவன், அங்கதன், ராமபிரானிடத்தில் கூட இத்தனை பரிவு காட்டாமல், நீங்கள் ஹநுமானிடம் இத்தனை பரிவு காட்டுகிறீர்களே?

இவ்வாறு விபீஷணன் ஜாம்பவானிடம் கேட்டான்

The above sloka is said by Vibhishana to Jambhavan

यदि वधम् इच्छसि रावणस्य सङ्ख्ये

यदि च कृतां हि त्व इच्छसि प्रतिज्ञाम् ।

यदि तव राजसुताभिलाष आर्य |

कुरु च वचो मम शीग्रमद्य वीर ||

Here, Arya means  - Excellence (noble) / உன்னதமான (பண்புள்ள)

O noble and valiant one! If you wish to kill Ravana in battle, if you wish to fulfill your promise and if you feel affectionate towards Seetha, do as I tell you soon and now.

The above sloka is said by Lakshmana to Shri Ram

स्थितेन राज्ञो वचने यथा राज्यं विसर्जितम्

आर्यस्य पादुके गृह्य यथासि पुनरागतः ।

Here, Arya means - Excellence (noble) / உன்னதமான (பண்புள்ள)

O lord of mighty arm Bharata ! You already know very well how Raghava the Noble, Abiding by the word of the king, abjured the kingdom.  Also, You already know very well how you returned back to Ayodhya taking the sandals of the noble one.

The above sloka is said by Hanuman to Bharata

द्विजातिमुख्यै: धर्मात्मा श्रेणीमुख्यैः सनैगमैः |

माल्य मोदक हस्तै: च मन्त्रिभि: भरतो वृतः |

शङ्ख भेरीनिनादैश्च बन्दिभि: च अभिवन्दितः |

आर्यपादौ गृहीत्वा तु शिरसा धर्मकोविदः |

पाण्डुरं छत्रम् आदाय शुक्ल-माल्योप शोभितम् |

शुक्ले च वालव्यजने राजार्हे हेमभूषिते |

उपवासकृशो दीन: चीर कृष्णाजिनाम्बरः |

भ्रातु: आगमनं श्रुत्वा तत्पूर्वं हर्षम् आगतः |

प्रत्युद्ययौ तदा रामं महात्मा सचिवैः सह ||

Here, Arya means - Excellence (noble) / உன்னதமான (பண்புள்ள)

Placing the sandals of the noble brother Shri Rama on his head, taking priceless, gold-decked, white fly-whisks that were worthy of a king and a white umbrella decked with white garlands, Bharata, the knower of Dharma (right & wrong), who was downcast and had withered with fasting and had the first flicker of happiness in a long time only a while ago upon hearing the news of the arrival of his brother, went to receive Mahātma Rāma, clad in tree bark and deer skin, accompanied by the blare of conches and the blast of kettledrums, and the praises of the panegyrists, along with the ministers, the foremost of the Brāhmaṇas, the chiefs of business guilds, the heads of business houses and counselors carrying sweets and bouquets

The above sloka is said by Valmiki on Bharata readiness to welcome Shri Ram.

Jai Noble Ram   Jai Noble Ram   Jai Noble Ram
