Kuntī–Sūrya-saṃvāda: Autonomy, Reputation, and the Promise of Karṇa
Devanagari script
ततो विभीषण: पार्थ राममिक्ष्वाकुनन्दनम् । उवाच विज्वरं दृष्टवा कृताञ्जलिरिदं वच:,युधिष्ठिर! तदनन्तर विभीषणने इक्ष्वाकुकुलनन्दन श्रीरामचन्द्रजीको नीरोग एवं स्वस्थ देख हाथ जोड़कर इस प्रकार कहा--
Transliteration
tato vibhīṣaṇaḥ pārtha rāmam ikṣvāku-nandanam | uvāca vijvaraṃ dṛṣṭvā kṛtāñjalir idaṃ vacaḥ |
Translation
Then Vibhīṣaṇa, seeing Rāma—the delight of the Ikṣvāku line—free from fever and fully restored, addressed him with folded hands. Here Mārkaṇḍeya relates to Yudhiṣṭhira a moment of reverent counsel: when a righteous leader is relieved of suffering, the fitting response is gratitude, humility, and speech guided by devotion and dharma.
