Shloka 10
Rāma’s Abhiṣeka Plan, Kaikeyī’s Boon, and the Initiation of the Exile
Mārkaṇḍeya’s Account
Devanagari script
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
Transliteration
tacchatāny api bhuñjanti brāhmaṇānāṃ manīṣiṇām | munes tyāga-viśuddhayā tu tad annaṃ vṛddhim ṛcchati |
Translation
Even hundreds of wise Brahmins could eat from that same store of food. Yet, through the sage’s perfectly purified spirit of renunciation, that food would surely increase—showing how selfless giving and inner purity become an inexhaustible source of sustenance for others.
