रावणस्य सभाप्रवेशः (Ravana Enters the Royal Assembly and Summons Counsel)
सुवर्णनानामणिभूषणानांसुवाससांसंसदिराक्षसानाम् ।तेषांपरार्घ्यागुरुचन्दनानांस्रजाश्चगन्धाःप्रववुस्समन्तात् ।।।।
suvarṇa-nānā-maṇi-bhūṣaṇānāṁ suvāsasāṁ saṁsadi rākṣasānām |
teṣāṁ parārghyāguru-candanānāṁ srajāś ca gandhāḥ pravavuḥ samantāt ||
In that assembly the rākṣasas, adorned with diverse gold and jeweled ornaments and clad in splendid garments, sent forth on every side the fragrances of costly aguru and sandalwood, along with the scent of their garlands.
In that royal court decorated with different kinds of golden and gem colours, the Rakshasas attired in beautiful clothes with their body smeared with fragrance of incense and sandal paste and wearing floral garland s whose fragrance had spread all over.
It implicitly contrasts outer refinement with inner truth: satya and dharma are not guaranteed by wealth, perfume, or splendor—ethical worth depends on righteous intention and action.
The assembly is depicted in vivid detail—its opulence and fragrance—setting the atmosphere for counsel and impending decisions.
No explicit virtue; the emphasis is on aesthetic magnificence, which serves as a narrative foil to the moral choices that will follow.
