Kaikeyi’s Demand and the Noose of the King’s Promise
तमुवाच महातेजा स्सूतपुत्रं विशारदम्।।वसिष्ठः क्षिप्रमाचक्ष्व नृपतेर्मामिहागतम्।
tamuvāca mahātejāḥ sūtaputraṃ viśāradam | vasiṣṭhaḥ kṣipramācakṣva nṛpatermāmihāgatam ||
Der hochglänzende Vasiṣṭha sprach zu dem kundigen Sohn des Sūta: „Melde dem König unverzüglich meine Ankunft hier.“
Effulgent Vasistha said to the expert chariotieer Sumantra to inform the king immediately of his arrival.
The 'sutaputra' (son of a charioteer) refers to Sumantra, the trusted minister and charioteer of King Dasharatha.
Vasistha highlights the Dharma of proper conduct (Maryada) and protocol. Despite being the Rajaguru with free access, he respects the King's privacy and station by asking to be announced.
