ताटकावृत्तान्तः
The Account of Tāṭakā and the Royal Duty to Protect
विश्वामित्रोऽब्रवीद्वाक्यं शृण येन बलोत्तरा। वरदानकृतं वीर्यं धारयत्यबला बलम्।।
viśvāmitro 'bravīd vākyaṃ śṛṇu yena balottarā | vara-dāna-kṛtaṃ vīryaṃ dhārayaty abalā balam ||
ବିଶ୍ୱାମିତ୍ର କହିଲେ: ଶୁଣ—ସେ କିପରି ବଳରେ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠତମ ହେଲା; ବରଦାନଦ୍ୱାରା ଲଭ୍ୟ ବୀର୍ୟରେ ସେ ଅବଳା ନାରୀ କିପରି ଏପରି ମହାବଳ ଧାରଣ କଲା।
Responsible action is grounded in right knowledge; Viśvāmitra prepares Rāma with the factual background before urging a grave deed.
Viśvāmitra begins explaining the origin of Tātakā’s power, attributing it to a boon.
Teacherly clarity and guidance—imparting context so that duty can be performed wisely.
