भरतस्य अयोध्याप्रत्यागमनम्
Bharata’s Return Journey and the Distant Sight of Ayodhya
bahūni paśyan manaso 'priyāṇi yāny anyadā nāsya pure babhūvuḥ | avākśirā dīnamanā na hṛṣṭaḥ pitur mahātmā praviveśa veśma ||2.71.47||
Vendo muitas coisas dolorosas ao coração—coisas jamais ocorridas antes em sua cidade—o magnânimo Bharata, de cabeça baixa, abatido e sem alegria, entrou no palácio de seu pai.
Arriving at the confluence of Saraswati and Ganga and traversing the north of Veeramatsya region, he entered the Bharunda forest.
Dharma includes reverent, truthful acknowledgment of calamity; Bharata’s bowed head and joylessness reflect humility before duty and impending moral responsibility.
After witnessing unprecedented ill-omens in Ayodhya, Bharata enters Daśaratha’s palace in a state of foreboding.
Humility and seriousness—Bharata does not arrive in pride but in restrained grief, prepared to act according to righteousness.
