भरद्वाजाश्रमे भरतसैन्यस्य दिव्यात्मिथ्यम् / Divine Hospitality to Bharata’s Army at Bharadvaja’s Hermitage
बभूव हि समा भूमिस्समन्तात्पञ्चयोजना।शाद्वलैर्भहुभिश्चन्ना नीलवैढूर्यसन्निभैः।।।।
tasminn uparate śabde divye śrotrasukhe nṛṇām |
dadarśa bhārataṃ sainyaṃ vidhānaṃ viśvakarmaṇaḥ ||
When that celestial sound—pleasing to human ears—had subsided, Bharata’s army beheld arrangements like the wondrous craftsmanship of Viśvakarman.
The ground was levelled on every side for five yojanas and covered with several grass lawns resembling lapis lazuli (blue sapphire) and cat's eye.
The verse supports atithi-dharma (righteous hospitality): extraordinary provisions are presented to honor guests, reflecting moral duty expressed through generous care.
After the celestial music ends, Bharata’s assembled forces witness the miraculous, architecturally perfect hospitality arrangements.
Bharadvāja’s hostly righteousness (atithi-sevā) is implied through the grandeur provided for Bharata and his army.
