यौवराज्याभिषेक-उपकल्पनम् (Preparations for Rama’s Installation as Yuvaraja)
तच्छ्रुत्वा भूमिपालस्य वसिष्ठो द्विजसत्तमः।।।।आदिदेशाग्रतो राज्ञ स्स्थितान्युक्तान् कृताञ्जलीन्।
tac chrutvā bhūmipālasya vasiṣṭho dvijasattamaḥ |
ādi-deśa agrato rājñaḥ sthitān yuktān kṛtāñjalīn ||
Hearing the king’s words, Vasiṣṭha—the foremost among brahmins—issued instructions to the appointed officials who stood before the king with folded hands.
Hearing the words of the king, Vasistha, best of the brahmins thus ordered the counsellors who stood in front of the king with folded palms:
Dharma as rightful delegation and respect for sacred authority: the king’s intent is carried out through the priest’s lawful command and the officials’ disciplined obedience.
After Daśaratha’s request, Vasiṣṭha turns to the assembled officials and begins directing the practical arrangements for the coronation.
Vasiṣṭha’s leadership and competence—he promptly translates royal intent into organized action.
