Bharata’s Army Reaches Chitrakuta and Searches for Rama
एवमुक्ता स्ततस्सर्वे तत्र तस्थुः समन्तः। भरतो यत्र धूमाग्रं तत्र दृष्टिं समादधात्।।2.93.26।।
evam uktās tataḥ sarve tatra tasthuḥ samantaḥ | bharato yatra dhūmāgraṃ tatra dṛṣṭiṃ samādadhāt || 2.93.26 ||
ထိုသို့ မိန့်ကြားသဖြင့် အားလုံးသည် အရပ်ရပ်မှ ထိုနေရာ၌ ရပ်တန့်နေကြ၏။ ထို့နောက် ဘရတသည် မီးခိုးတိုင် ထွက်ပေါ်ရာ အရပ်သို့ မျက်စိကို တည်ကြည့်လိုက်၏။
Looking at these surroundings and from what I had heard, it is clear that we have reached the region indicated by Bharadwaja.
