Kuvalāśva’s Lineage and Uttaṅka’s Petition concerning Dhundhu (धुन्धु-प्रसङ्गः)

Devanagari script

ततस्तत्रैवासीने राजनि सेनान्वगच्छत्‌,“राजा अभी वहीं बैठे थे, इतनेहीमें उनकी सेना आ पहुँची

Transliteration

tatas tatraivāsīne rājani senān anvagacchat

Translation

Then, while the king was still seated right there, his army arrived and came up to him. The moment underscores how swiftly royal power and responsibility gather around a ruler: even in stillness, the king is not truly alone, for the demands of protection, order, and duty follow close behind.
