Shloka 1.8.5
अष्टमः सर्गः — Daśaratha Resolves on the Aśvamedha (Horse-Sacrifice) for Progeny
ततस्सुमन्त्रस्त्वरितं गत्वा त्वरितविक्रम:।समानयत्स तान् सर्वान् समस्तान्वेदपारगान् ।।।।सुयज्ञं वामदेवं च जाबालिमथ काश्यपम् ।परोहितं वसिष्ठं च ये चान्ये व्दिजसत्तमा: ।। ।।
ity uktvā nṛpaśārdūlaḥ sacivān samupasthitān |
visarjayitvā svaṃ veśma praviveśa mahādyutiḥ ||
Having thus spoken, the tiger among kings—radiant Daśaratha—dismissed the ministers who were in attendance and entered his own inner residence.
Thereupon Sumantra of swift movement immediateiy brought together Suyajna, Vamadeva,Jabali, Kasyapa and priest Vasistha along with other brahmins who had mastery over the Vedas.
Dharma in governance includes proper closure of counsel—after giving orders, the king formally dismisses ministers, maintaining decorum and clear administrative boundaries.
After issuing directions related to the sacrificial plan, Daśaratha ends the ministerial audience and retires to the inner palace.
Composure and orderly conduct—Daśaratha manages public duty before turning to private, family-related matters.
