भरतस्य प्रार्थना—रामस्य धर्मोपदेशः
Bharata’s Petition and Rama’s Dharma-Reasoning
तं मत्तमिव मातङ्गं निःश्वसन्तं पुन पुनः।भ्रातरं भरतं रामः परिष्वज्येदमब्रवीत्।।।।
taṃ mattam iva mātaṅgaṃ niḥśvasantaṃ punaḥ punaḥ | bhrātaraṃ bharataṃ rāmaḥ pariṣvajya idam abravīt ||
Рама обнял брата Бхарату — тот снова и снова тяжко вздыхал, словно слон в поре гона, — и затем произнёс такие слова.
Rama embraced his brother Bharata who repeatedly heaved sighs and resembled anelephant in rut, and said:
Compassion within dharma: Rama responds to Bharata’s anguish not with harshness but with embrace—upholding fraternal care while preparing a principled reply.
The narration depicts Bharata’s intense grief; Rama comforts him physically before speaking.
Rama’s empathy and steadiness—he consoles Bharata even amid a dispute about duty and kingship.
