अयोध्याकाण्डे पञ्चषष्टितमः सर्गः — Daśaratha’s Death Discovered in the Palace
Morning Rites Turn to Lament
व्याहृताः पुण्यशब्दाश्च वीणानां चापि निस्स्वनाः।आशीर्गेयं च गाथानां पूरयामास वेश्म तत्।।।।
vyāhṛtāḥ puṇyaśabdāś ca vīṇānāṁ cāpi nissvanāḥ | āśīrgēyaṁ ca gāthānāṁ pūrayāmāsa veśma tat ||
Ujaran suci, dengung merdu vīṇā, serta nyanyian berkat dalam rangkap-rangkap metrum memenuhi seluruh balairung itu hingga melimpah.
The sacred songs of bards and panegyrists, notes of veena, chantings of metrical hymns and benedictory verses filled the palace.
Dharma is upheld through maṅgala (auspicious) speech and art: sacred sound and disciplined performance are treated as supports of social and ritual order.
Multiple streams of sound—chants, instruments, and benedictions—combine to create a ceremonial atmosphere inside the palace.
Reverence and cultural refinement—valuing sacred utterance and regulated artistry in public life.
