जनकदूतागमनम्
The Arrival of Janaka’s Messengers in Ayodhya
जनकेन समादिष्टा दूतास्ते क्लान्तवाहना:।त्रिरात्रमुषिता मार्गे तेऽयोध्यां प्राविशन् पुरीम्।।1.68.1।।
janakena samādiṣṭā dūtās te klāntavāhanāḥ | trirātram uṣitā mārge te 'yodhyāṃ prāviśan purīm ||
ジャナカの命を受けた使者たちは、乗り物も疲れ果て、道中で三夜を過ごしたのち、アヨーディヤーの都へ入った。
Commanded by Janaka the messengers travelled for three days, rested for three nights on the way and entered the city of Ayodhya along with their horses tired.
Dharma here is faithful execution of entrusted duty: the messengers endure travel hardship to deliver their king’s message accurately and promptly.
After Rāma’s success in Mithilā, Janaka dispatches messengers to Ayodhyā; they arrive after a multi-night journey.
Reliability and perseverance in service—qualities expected in royal envoys acting under dharma and protocol.
