गङ्गादर्शनम् तथा गुहसमागमः
Vision of the Gaṅgā and Meeting with Guha
भक्ष्यं भोज्यं च पेयं च लेह्यंचेदमुपस्थितम् ॥३९॥
शयनानि च मुख्यानि वाजिनां खादनं च ते ।
bhakṣyaṃ bhojyaṃ ca peyaṃ ca lehyaṃ cedam upasthitam ||39||
śayanāni ca mukhyāni vājināṃ khādanaṃ ca te |
देखो, खाना पीना सब रेडी है। कुछ खाने के लिए है, कुछ पीने के लिए, और कुछ चाटने के लिए मिठाइयाँ। अच्छे बिस्तर भी लगाए हैं तुम्हारे लिए। घोड़ों के लिए भी दाना-पानी रखा है।
All kinds of food to be taken by biting, chewing, drinking and licking are here for you. There is an excellent bed ready. There are also enough fodder for the horses.
Complete hospitality: dharma is not only honoring the guest but also caring for the guest’s companions and animals, ensuring comfort and dignity.
Guha enumerates the provisions arranged for Rama’s stay, including bedding and fodder.
Guha’s attentiveness and practical compassion.
