Explanation

Sage Vashistha was the family guru (kul guru) and preceptor of the Solar Dynasty (Suryavamsha) to which Lord Rama belonged. As the royal priest of the Ikshvaku dynasty, Vashistha guided generations of kings including Rama and his father Dasharatha. Vishwamitra, though a great sage, was not the permanent guru of the solar race - he specifically taught Rama during his exile but was not the dynasty's preceptor.
