अयोध्याकाण्डे पञ्चसप्ततितमः सर्गः
Sarga 75: Bharata and Kausalya—Reproach, Oaths, and Reconciliation
भक्त्या विवदमानेषु मार्गमाश्रित्य पश्यतः।तस्य पापेन युज्येत यस्यार्योऽनुमते गतः।।।।
bhaktyā vivadamāneṣu mārgam āśritya paśyataḥ | tasya pāpena yujyeta yasya āryo 'numate gataḥ ||
எவருடைய அனுமதியால் என் ஆரிய சகோதரன் வனவாசம் சென்றானோ, அவன் அந்தப் பாவத்தால் கட்டுப்படுக—வாதிடுவோர் நடுவே பார்த்துக்கொண்டே பக்திவசத்தால் பக்கச்சார்பு வழியைப் பற்றிக் கொண்டு ஒருபக்கத் தீர்ப்பை நடத்துவோர்க்குரிய பாவம்.
May that one who counselled the exile of my esteemed brother acquire the sin in the same way a person acquires while giving one-sided judgement between divided religious disputants!
Dharma in judgment requires impartiality grounded in truth (satya); deciding from factional loyalty rather than fairness is sinful.
Bharata likens the sanctioning of exile to corrupt adjudication—choosing sides in a dispute out of attachment.
Commitment to fair-mindedness: Bharata frames the exile as a failure of just governance and truthful discernment.
