भरतस्य धर्मप्रतिज्ञा तथा रामनिवर्तनयात्रा
Bharata’s Vow of Dharma and the Expedition to Recall Rama
सा विद्वज्जनसम्पूर्णा सभा सुरुचिरा तदा।अदृश्यत घनापाये पूर्णचन्द्रेव शर्वरी।।।।
sā vidvaj-jana-sampūrṇā sabhā surucirā tadā |
adṛśyata ghanāpāye pūrṇa-candreva śarvarī ||
Então aquela esplêndida assembleia, repleta de sábios, resplandecia como uma noite iluminada pela lua cheia, após se dissiparem as nuvens da estação das chuvas.
The most splendid assembly filled with learned people looked brilliant like the night with the autumnal full-moon.
Dharma is supported by wise deliberation: a learned assembly symbolizes governance guided by knowledge, clarity, and counsel rather than impulse.
The text describes the royal assembly’s atmosphere as Bharata’s political and ethical decision-making is about to unfold.
Not a single character’s virtue, but the collective ideal of vidvat (learning) and clarity in public counsel—conditions for dharmic rule.
