चित्रकूटमार्गवर्णनम् — Bharata’s Army Reaches Chitrakuta and Searches for Rama
स सम्प्रतस्थे धर्मात्मा प्रीतो दशरथात्मजः। वृतो महत्या नादिन्या सेनया चतुरङ्गया।।2.93.3।।
yādṛśaṃ lakṣyate rūpaṃ yathā caiva śrutaṃ mayā | vyaktaṃ prāptāḥ sma taṃ deśaṃ bharadvājo yam abravīt || 2.93.7 ||
From the appearance seen here, and from what I had heard, it is clear that we have reached the region of which Bharadvāja spoke.
Bharata the righteous son of Dasaratha, proceeded with great delight in the company of the clamouring army of four divisions.
Satya as intellectual honesty: Bharata aligns observation with reliable testimony (what he heard from Bharadvāja), modeling careful, truth-oriented judgment.
Bharata identifies the landscape as the very area previously described by sage Bharadvāja, confirming they are near their destination.
Pramāṇa-buddhi (sound discernment): he uses both direct perception and trustworthy report to conclude correctly.
