लोकसमुत्पत्ति-वर्णनम् तथा इक्ष्वाकुवंश-प्रशंसा (Cosmogony and Ikshvaku Genealogy as Counsel to Rama)
भरतात्तु महाबाहोरसितो नाम जायत।।।।यस्यैते प्रतिराजान उदपद्यन्त शत्रवः।हैहयास्तालजङ्घाश्च शूराश्च शशिबिन्दवः।।।।
bharatāt tu mahābāhor asito nāma jāyata |
yasyāite pratirājāna udapadyanta śatravaḥ |
haihayās tālajaṅghāś ca śūrāś ca śaśibindavaḥ ||
From Bharata, the mighty-armed, was born a son named Asita. Against him rose hostile rival kings—the Haihayas, the Tālajaṅghas, and the valiant Śaśibindus.
Mighty-armed Bharata had a son named Asita against whom the Haihayas, Talajanghas and the indomitable Sasibindus, the rival kings rose as enenmies.
Dharma for rulers includes endurance amid rivalry: hostility may arise even against rightful kings, testing steadiness and just response.
The genealogy shifts into a conflict episode: Asita faces a coalition of rival dynasties.
Kṣatriya resolve under pressure—being opposed by many rivals is framed as a trial of royal strength and legitimacy.
