विश्वामित्रस्य यज्ञरक्षा-याचना
Visvamitra Requests Rama for Yajna-Protection
तच्छ्रुत्वा राजसिंहस्य वाक्यमद्भुतविस्तरम् ।
हृष्टरोमा महातेजा विश्वामित्रोऽभ्यभाषत ॥१॥
tac chrutvā rāja-siṃhasya vākyam adbhuta-vistaram |
hṛṣṭa-romā mahā-tejā viśvāmitro ’bhyabhāṣata ||1||
राजा की बात सुनकर विश्वामित्र बहुत खुश हुए। राजा ने जो कहा वो सुनने में बड़ा अच्छा था। विश्वामित्र खुशी से झूम गए और फिर उन्होंने जवाब दिया।
Having heard these wonderful words of Dasaratha, the lion among kings, the brilliant Viswamitra with hair on end replied:
Dharma here is the harmony between righteous kingship and spiritual authority: the king’s proper words and intent elicit the sage’s approving response, showing mutual respect between rājadharma and ṛṣidharma.
After Daśaratha speaks at length, Viśvāmitra—pleased—begins his reply.
Reverent responsiveness and discernment: Viśvāmitra recognizes the king’s stance and responds with controlled power and goodwill.
