Rāma’s Abhiṣeka Plan, Kaikeyī’s Boon, and the Initiation of the Exile
Mārkaṇḍeya’s Account
तच्छतान्यपि भुज्जन्ति ब्राह्मणानां मनीषिणाम् | मुनेस्त्यागविशुद्धया तु तदन्न॑ वृद्धिमृच्छति,इस प्रकार उसमें सैकड़ों मनीषी ब्राह्मण एक साथ भोजन कर लेते थे। मुद्गल मुनिके विशुद्ध त्यागके प्रभावसे वह अन्न निश्चय ही बढ़ जाता था
tacchatāny api bhuñjanti brāhmaṇānāṃ manīṣiṇām | munes tyāga-viśuddhayā tu tad annaṃ vṛddhim ṛcchati |
Dari persediaan makanan itu, bahkan ratusan brāhmaṇa bijaksana dapat makan bersama. Namun, karena kemurnian sempurna dari semangat pelepasan sang resi, makanan itu sungguh-sungguh bertambah.

Vyāsa describes a situation where many wise Brahmins eat from the same provisions, yet the food does not diminish; instead it increases due to the sage’s purified renunciation—highlighting the extraordinary fruit of ascetic virtue and generosity.
