विधानम् — Dasaratha’s Funeral Rites and Ayodhya’s Mourning
एवं विलपमानं तं भरतं दीनमानसम्।अब्रवीद्वचनं भूयो वसिष्ठस्तु महामुनिः।।2.76.10।।
evaṁ vilapamānaṁ taṁ bharataṁ dīna-mānasam | abravīd vacanaṁ bhūyo vasiṣṭhas tu mahā-muniḥ || 2.76.10 ||
وبينما كان بهاراتا ينوح على هذا النحو، منكسرَ النفس، عاد الحكيم العظيم فاسيشتها فخاطبه مرةً أخرى.
To Bharata who was thus lamenting with a dejected mind, the great ascetic Vasistha once again said:
Dharma requires returning the grieving mind to right action through repeated, patient counsel—steadiness is a moral necessity, not merely an emotion-management skill.
Bharata continues to mourn, and Vasiṣṭha re-engages him to move the situation toward the required royal rites.
Persevering compassion: Vasiṣṭha does not abandon the grieving Bharata but guides him again and again toward duty.
