भरद्वाजाश्रमे भरतसैन्यस्य दिव्यात्मिथ्यम् / Divine Hospitality to Bharata’s Army at Bharadvaja’s Hermitage
अलम्बुसा मिश्रकेशी पुण्डरीकाऽथ वामना।उपानृत्यंस्तु भरतं भरद्वाजस्य शासनात्।।।।
nāradas tumbhurur gopaḥ pravarāḥ sūryavarcasaḥ |
ete gandharvarājāno bharatasyāgrato jaguḥ ||
Nārada, Tumburu, and Gopa—eminent kings among the gandharvas, radiant like the sun—sang before Bharata.
Thereafter, the apsaras, Alambusa, Misrakesi, Pundarika and Vamana danced near Bharata at the command of Bharadwaja.
Honoring the righteous through fitting welcome: dharma includes showing reverence to worthy guests and leaders, using arts in a dignified way.
Celestial gandharvas appear and perform music in Bharata’s presence during Bharadvāja’s reception.
Bharata’s worthiness (pātratā): such honors are portrayed as naturally accruing to a dharmic person.
