ત્યારે વિશાંપતિ રાજાના અંતઃપુરમાં પ્રવેશીને તેણે રાજવંશની સ્તુતિ કરી; અને નરેન્દ્રના શયનકક્ષ પાસે જઈ ત્યાં ઊભો રહ્યો.
Entering the king's inner apartment, he began extoling the virtues of the royal dynasty, and stood there as he approached the king's bed-chamber.
Legitimacy anchored in itihāsa and lineage: praise of the dynasty underscores continuity of rajadharma and the moral weight of inherited responsibility.
Sumantra reaches the king’s private chamber to rouse him, first invoking the dignity of the royal house.
Reverence and tact: Sumantra uses respectful praise rather than abrupt intrusion.
