भरत-गुहसंवादः
Bharata and Guha: Trust, Hospitality, and the Burden of Grief
स तु संहृष्टवदन श्श्रुत्वा भरतभाषितम् ।
पुनरेवाब्रवीद्वाक्यं भरतं प्रति हर्षितः ॥११॥
sa tu saṅhṛṣṭavadanaḥ śrutvā bharatabhāṣitam |
punar evābravīd vākyaṁ bharataṁ prati harṣitaḥ ||11||
Słysząc słowa Bharaty, Guha, którego oblicze promieniało radością, rozradowany przemówił ponownie, zwracając się do Bharaty.
When he heard those words of Bharata, Guha was delighted and his face beamed with joy as he said to Bharata:
Dharma is reflected in mutual respect and truthful appreciation; Guha responds with sincere joy to Bharata’s righteous intent.
After Bharata speaks to Guha, Guha becomes pleased and continues the conversation, preparing to praise Bharata’s conduct.
Guha’s goodwill and emotional openness—his joy arises from recognizing virtue in Bharata.
