गङ्गादर्शनम् तथा गुहसमागमः
Vision of the Gaṅgā and Meeting with Guha
अश्वानां खादनेनाहमर्थी नान्येन केनचित्।एतावताऽत्र भवता भविष्यामि सुपूजितः।।2.50.45।।
aśvānāṃ khādanenāham arthī nānyena kenacit |
ētāvatā ’tra bhavatā bhaviṣyāmi supūjitaḥ || 2.50.45 ||
لا أطلب إلا علفًا للخيول، ولا شيئًا غيره. إن فعلتَ هنا هذا القدر فحسب، عدَدْتُ نفسي مكرَّمًا حقًّا.
What I now need is fodder for the horses. Nothing more. If you can do this much, I'll deem it a great honour.
Dharma includes moderation and non-exploitation: Rama accepts only what is necessary, refusing excess even when offered hospitality.
Guha offers service; Rama limits his request to the practical need of feeding the horses.
Saṃyama (self-restraint) and humility in receiving help.
