Bharata’s Petition and Rama’s Instruction on Time and Mortality
स स्वस्थो भव मा शोचेर्यात्वा चावसतां पुरीम्।तथा पित्रा नियुक्तोऽसि वशिना वदतां वर।।2.105.40।।
sa svastho bhava mā śocer yātvā cāvasatāṃ purīm | tathā pitrā niyukto 'si vaśinā vadatāṃ vara || 2.105.40 ||
నీవు స్థిరచిత్తుడై ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉండు; శోకించకు. తిరిగి వెళ్లి ఆ నగరంలో నివసించు. వాక్పటువులలో శ్రేష్ఠుడా! మన నియమశీల తండ్రి నిన్ను ఇలానే నియమించాడు.
O foremost of the eloquent, compose yourself. Do not grieve. Return to the city (Ayodhya) and reside there. You have been commanded so by our father who was a man of self-control.
Respect for paternal instruction and self-mastery: dharma is maintained by composure and by carrying out the disciplined father’s directive.
Bharata instructs Śatrughna to stop grieving and to return to Ayodhyā, citing Daśaratha’s prior command.
Discipline and duty-orientation: acting on rightful instruction rather than being driven by emotion.
