Al alba, disponed en el agni-griha, el santuario del fuego del rey: oro y otros metales preciosos, gemas, ofrendas y todas las hierbas medicinales; guirnaldas blancas y granos tostados; miel y ghee por separado; vestiduras nuevas, un carro y toda clase de armas; el ejército de cuatro cuerpos y un elefante de signos auspiciosos; abanicos blancos de cola de yak, estandarte y pálido parasol; cien vasijas de oro resplandeciente; un toro íntegro con cuernos recubiertos de oro, y una piel de tigre.
By tomorrow early morning arrange in the place set aside for sacred fire in the king's palace gold and other metals, gems, articles of worship, also herbs, garlands of white flowers, roasted corn, honey and clarified butter in separate containers, fresh clothes, chariot, weapons of every kind, army of four divisions, an elephant possessing auspicious marks, white fans made of Yak's hair, a standard, white parasol, a hundred golden vessels shining like fire, a bull with goldplated horns and a tiger skin.
Dharma is expressed as orderly performance of sacred and royal duties: careful preparation for rites reflects reverence for truth-bearing ritual (satya) and responsibility in governance.
In Ayodhyā, officials instruct that all materials be assembled in the king’s fire-sanctuary for imminent royal ceremonies (connected with state rites and coronation preparations).
Discipline and meticulousness—ritual and state duties require completeness, purity, and proper arrangement.
