अयोध्यानगरवर्णनम्
Description of Ayodhya and the Ikshvaku Royal Setting
येषां स सगरो नाम सागरो येन खानित: ।षष्टि: पुत्रसहस्राणि यं यान्तं पर्यवारयन् ।।।।
yeṣāṃ sa sagaro nāma sāgaro yena khānitaḥ | ṣaṣṭiḥ putrasahasrāṇi yaṃ yāntaṃ paryavārayan ||
Parmi eux se trouvait le roi nommé Sagara—celui par qui l’océan fut creusé; et soixante mille fils l’entouraient chaque fois qu’il se mettait en marche.
Among them a king named Sagara got the ocean dug and his sixty thousand sons surrounded him whenever he went (to battle).
The verse foregrounds royal capability and legacy; dharma here is the king’s duty to lead and act decisively, leaving enduring works remembered by society.
The narrator lists eminent Ikṣvāku kings, introducing Sagara and his famed association with the ocean.
Leadership and prowess—Sagara as a figure of commanding presence, supported by vast retinue.
