ततः कोपपरीतात्मा दूतः प्रोवाच सादरम् । विहस्य जनसंसर्गं दृष्ट्वैकांतेऽपि संस्थिते
tataḥ kopaparītātmā dūtaḥ provāca sādaram | vihasya janasaṃsargaṃ dṛṣṭvaikāṃte'pi saṃsthite
मग क्रोधाने व्यापलेला दूत वरवर आदराने बोलला; ‘एकांत’ म्हणत असूनही लोकांची गर्दी पाहून तो उपहास करू लागला।
Sūta (narration describing the dūta’s reaction)
Scene: An envoy stands before the seated noble, face tightened with suppressed anger; he speaks with formal gestures yet his expression and slight smile mock the crowded ‘private’ meeting.
Outer politeness without inner composure leads to conflict; restraint and proper setting are part of dharmic conduct.
