पादुकाप्रदानं भरतस्य निवृत्तिश्च
The Sandals Bestowed; Bharata’s Return Toward Ayodhya
ततः प्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा भरद्वाजं पुनः पुनः ।
भरतस्तु ययौ श्रीमानयोध्यां सह मन्त्रिभिः ॥१९॥
tataḥ pradakṣiṇaṃ kṛtvā bharadvājaṃ punaḥ punaḥ |
bharatas tu yayau śrīmān ayodhyāṃ saha mantribhiḥ ||19||
അതിനുശേഷം, ഭാരദ്വാജനെ വീണ്ടും വീണ്ടും പ്രദക്ഷിണം ചെയ്ത്, ശ്രീമാനായ ഭരതൻ മന്ത്രിമാരോടുകൂടെ അയോധ്യയിലേക്കു പുറപ്പെട്ടു.
Then illustrious Bharata circumambulated the sage several times in homage before heset out for Ayodhya with his counsellors.
Dharma includes proper closure and gratitude: one departs only after honoring and receiving blessings from the worthy.
Bharata completes formal reverence to Bharadvāja and begins the journey back to Ayodhyā with his entourage.
Kṛtajñatā (gratitude) and disciplined conduct in public life, fitting for a ruler-in-trust.
