Verse 30·VR 2.67.30

ध्वजो रथस्य प्रज्ञानम् धूमो ज्ञानम् विभावसोः | तेषाम् यो नो ध्वजो राज स देवत्वमितो गतः || २-६७-३०

na araajake jana pade svakam bhavati kasyacit | matsyaaiva naraa nityam bhakShayanti parasparam || 2-67-31

Translation

"A flag is an identity for a chariot. A smoke is an identity for a fire. King Dasaratha, like a flag, was an identity for us and he has left the world for a heavenly abode."
