O Lakshmana, this Golden Lanka does not allure me. Mother and Motherland are dear to me more than heaven. [This verse from the Ramayana records conversation between Shri Rama and Lakshmana after the war. It is very appropriate to remember it on Vijayadashami day in which Shri Rama declared to Lakshmana that he was not interested in the wealth of Lanka and did never want to rule Lanka. He would rather go back to his Motherland.]
