गङ्गातरणम् · Bharata’s Ferrying of the Army across the Ganga
इति संवदतोरेवमन्योन्यं नरसिंहयोः ।
आगम्य प्राञ्जलिः काले गुहो भरतमब्रवीत् ॥४॥
iti saṃvadator evam anyonyaṃ narasiṃhayoḥ |
āgamya prāñjaliḥ kāle guho bharatam abravīt ||4||
Gdy ci dwaj mężczyźni podobni do lwów rozmawiali ze sobą, Guha przybył we właściwym momencie i, ze złożonymi dłońmi, zwrócił się do Bharaty.
While the two lions among men, Bharata and Satrughna were thus conversing with each other, Guha came in the appropriate time and said to Bharata with folded palms:
Dharma is shown through maryādā (propriety): Guha approaches at an appropriate time and with respectful gestures, modeling righteous social conduct.
Bharata and Śatrughna are speaking when Guha arrives to communicate with Bharata, setting up the arrangements connected to their onward journey.
Guha’s humility and reverence—his folded hands indicate disciplined respect toward a royal guest.
