ततः कोपपरीतात्मा दूतः प्रोवाच सादरम् । विहस्य जनसंसर्गं दृष्ट्वैकांतेऽपि संस्थिते
tataḥ kopaparītātmā dūtaḥ provāca sādaram | vihasya janasaṃsargaṃ dṛṣṭvaikāṃte'pi saṃsthite
ثم إنّ الرسول، وقد غمر الغضبُ قلبَه، تكلّم بأدبٍ في الظاهر؛ وهو يضحك ساخرًا من ازدحام الناس، مع أنّ اللقاء قيل إنه في خلوة.
Sūta (narration describing the dūta’s reaction)
Scene: An envoy stands before the seated noble, face tightened with suppressed anger; he speaks with formal gestures yet his expression and slight smile mock the crowded ‘private’ meeting.
Outer politeness without inner composure leads to conflict; restraint and proper setting are part of dharmic conduct.
