सुवर्णादीनि रत्नानि बलीन् सर्वौषधीरपि।।।।शुक्लमाल्यांश्च लाजांश्च पृथक्च मधुसर्पिषी।अहतानि च वासांसि रथं सर्वायुधान्यपि।।।।चतुरङ्गबलं चैव गजं च शुभलक्षणम्।चामरव्यजने श्वेते ध्वजं छत्रं च पाण्डुरम्।।।।शतं च शातकुम्भानां कुम्भानाग्निवर्चसाम्।हिरण्यशृङ्गमृषभं समग्रं व्याघ्रचर्म च।।।।उपस्थापयत प्रातरग्न्यगारं महीपतेः।

Dès demain matin, rassemblez dans le sanctuaire du feu du roi : de l’or et d’autres métaux précieux, des gemmes, des offrandes et des herbes médicinales ; des guirlandes blanches, du grain grillé, et du miel et du ghee tenus séparément ; des vêtements neufs, un char et des armes de toute sorte ; l’armée aux quatre corps et un éléphant aux marques de bon augure ; des éventails blancs en queue de yak, un étendard et un pâle parasol ; cent vases d’or éclatants ; une peau de tigre entière ; et un taureau aux cornes gainées d’or.
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 as meticulous sacred duty: public rites are performed with purity, completeness, and proper preparation, reflecting respect for truth, tradition, and social order.
Vasiṣṭha enumerates the ritual and royal items to be assembled for Rama’s consecration, specifying location (agnyagāra) and time (early morning).
Organizational excellence and ritual exactness—Vasiṣṭha embodies the priestly virtue of ensuring that dharmic ceremonies are executed without omission.
