Chitrakuta Encampment
किमत्र धनुषा कार्यमसिना वा सचर्मणा ।
महेष्वासे महाप्राज्ञे भरते स्वयमागते ॥२॥
kim atra dhanuṣā kāryam asinā vā sa-carmaṇā |
maheṣvāse mahāprājñe bharate svayam āgate ||2||
મહેષ્વાસ અને મહાપ્રાજ્ઞ ભરત સ્વયં અહીં આવ્યો છે, તો પછી ધનુષ્ય, તલવાર કે ઢાલની અહીં શું જરૂર?
When sagacious Bharata of great strength has come here, where is the need for a bow or a sword or a shield.
Dharma here is trust rooted in righteous knowledge of another’s character—Rama rejects suspicion and needless violence when a virtuous person approaches.
In the forest, Lakshmana is tense and ready for conflict; Rama calms him, saying weapons are unnecessary because Bharata has come personally.
Rama’s discernment and fairness (nyāya): he judges Bharata by known virtue, not by fear or rumor.
