सीतासमीपगमनम् / Sītā Brought Near to Rāma (Public Witness and Protocol)
तस्यतद्वचनंश्रुत्वाराघवस्यविभीषणः ।तूर्णमुत्सारणंतत्रकारयामासधर्मवित् ।।।।
tasya tad-vacanaṃ śrutvā rāghavasya vibhīṣaṇaḥ |
tūrṇam utsāraṇaṃ tatra kārayāmāsa dharmavit ||
Hearing Rāghava’s words, Vibhīṣaṇa—knower of dharma—at once had the place there cleared.
On hearing Raghava's words, faithful Vibheeshana instantly assigned people to disperse from there.
Dharma here is disciplined governance: a righteous leader’s instruction is carried out promptly to maintain order and propriety, especially in sensitive moments.
After Rāma gives an instruction, Vibhīṣaṇa immediately arranges for the area to be cleared, setting the stage for the next event involving Sītā.
Vibhīṣaṇa’s obedience and dharma-minded administrative competence—swift, orderly action aligned with righteous intent.
