एकाशीति तमः सर्गः
Bharata’s Grief, Courtly Summons, and the Assembly Hall
स काञ्चनमयं पीठं सुखास्तरणसंवृतम्।अध्यास्त सर्ववेदज्ञो दूताननुशशास च।।।।
sa kāñcanamayaṃ pīṭhaṃ sukhāstaraṇasaṃvṛtam | adhyāsta sarvavedajño dūtān anuśaśāsa ca ||
സർവ്വവേദജ്ഞനായ അദ്ദേഹം സുഖകരമായ വിരിപ്പാൽ മൂടിയ സ്വർണമയ പീഠത്തിൽ ഇരുന്ന് ദൂതന്മാർക്ക് ആജ്ഞയും ഉപദേശവും നൽകി.
Vasistha, well-versed in all the Vedas, sat on a golden seat with a comfortable cover and ordered the messengers:
Dharma is orderly governance: learned authority acts through proper channels (messengers), ensuring decisions are communicated responsibly and without chaos.
Vasiṣṭha takes his seat in the assembly setting and begins issuing instructions to summon key persons.
Composure and competence—acting decisively while maintaining decorum and institutional process.
