इहाद्य रजनीं राम वसेम शुभदर्शन।पुण्ययोस्सरितोर्मध्ये श्वस्तरिष्यामहे वयम्।।।।
ihādya rajanīṃ rāma vase ma śubhadarśana |
puṇyayoḥ saritor madhye śvas tariṣyāmahe vayam ||
Wahai Rāma yang berwajah mulia, marilah kita bermalam di sini, di antara dua sungai yang suci; esok kita akan menyeberang.
O auspicious-looking Rama, we will stay here tonight at the confluence of both these sacred rivers (Sarayu and Ganga) and cross over Ganga tomorrow.
Dharma includes orderly conduct—proper timing, safe travel, and reverence for sacred spaces rather than haste.
Viśvāmitra decides the group will rest for the night at the meeting-place of sacred rivers and cross the next day.
Prudence and discipline (niyama): acting with mindful planning in a sacred journey.
