महाभिषेकः — Sugriva’s Coronation and Angada’s Installation
ततः कुशपरिस्तीर्णं समिद्धं जातवेदसम्।मन्त्रपूतेन हविषा हुत्वा मन्त्रविदो जनाः।।
tato hemapratiṣṭhāne varāstaraṇasaṃvṛte |
prāsādaśikhare ramye citramālyopaśobhite॥
Then, on the delightful summit of the palace—adorned with variegated garlands—they prepared a golden throne-seat, firmly set and covered with fine spreads.
Then the priests (people who recite Vedic hymns) strew around kusa grass, kindled sacred fire with recitation of mantras and made offerings of havis into the fire.
Royal authority is framed as a dharmic institution: the throne and ritual setting indicate that governance is to be elevated, orderly, and publicly accountable.
The ceremonial space is arranged on the palace-top for Sugrīva’s enthronement and consecration.
Stewardship and preparedness: the attendants ensure the setting is worthy of a legitimate ruler.
