अयोध्याकाण्डे पञ्चसप्ततितमः सर्गः (Sarga 75: Bharata and Kausalya—Reproach, Oaths, and Reconciliation)
आशामाशंसमानानां दीनानामूर्ध्वचक्षुषाम्।अर्थिनां वितथां कुर्याद्यस्यार्योऽनुमते गतः।।।।
āśām āśaṃsamānānāṃ dīnānām ūrdhva-cakṣuṣām | arthināṃ vitathāṃ kuryād yasya āryo 'numate gataḥ ||
May that man—by whose sanction my noble brother was sent into exile—incur the guilt of one who makes the hopes of wretched beggars, looking up in expectation, turn out to be futile.
May the one who counselled the exile of my esteemed brother acquire the sin in the same way a person disappoints who miserable mendicants seeking alms and looking up to him for help!
To deny help to the helpless—especially those who approach with hope—is adharma; the verse equates causing such disappointment with grave moral fault, and applies that moral lens to the injustice of approving Rama’s exile.
Bharata speaks before Kausalya, lamenting Rama’s exile and uttering a series of condemnations against whoever approved or engineered that exile.
Bharata’s commitment to dharma and compassion: he measures wrongdoing by its harm to the vulnerable and by betrayal of righteous order.
