Scene: A consecrated king Hariścandra, once radiant with rājasūya glory, stands amid seized regalia as officials and soldiers of the fourfold army are taken away; the mood is solemn, emphasizing dharma’s testing.
Even eminent rulers are subject to reversal; dharma is tested when power and possessions are taken away.
Indirectly, the Ayodhyā tīrtha narrative tied to Hariścandra’s wealth and its guardians.
No prescription; it references the Rājasūya to characterize Hariścandra’s royal eminence.
