भरतस्य प्रार्थना—रामस्य कालधर्मोपदेशः
Bharata’s Petition and Rama’s Instruction on Time and Mortality
इष्ट्वा बहुविधैर्यज्ञैर्भोगां श्चावाप्य पुष्कलान्।उत्तमं चायुरासाद्य स्वर्गतः पृथिवीपतिः।।2.105.35।।
iṣṭvā bahuvidhair yajñair bhogāṃś cāvāpya puṣkalān | uttamaṃ cāyur āsādya svargataḥ pṛthivīpatiḥ || 2.105.35 ||
అనేక విధాల యజ్ఞాలు నిర్వహించి, ధర్మసమ్మతంగా సమృద్ధమైన భోగాలను అనుభవించి, ఉత్తమమైన ఆయుష్షును పొందిన తరువాత భూపతి రాజు స్వర్గానికి వెళ్లాడు।
King Dasaratha, lord of the earth, having performed various kinds of sacrifices and securing a long life, enjoyed abundance of pleasures and attained heaven.
Dharma permits prosperity and enjoyment when grounded in righteous conduct; a complete life integrates duty (yajña), legitimate pleasure (bhoga), and a worthy end.
Bharata continues consoling by portraying Daśaratha’s life as fulfilled—religious duty performed, worldly aims met, and a good posthumous destination.
Sober perspective on life’s aims (puruṣārthas): Bharata frames loss through a dharmic evaluation of a completed kingship.
