अयोध्याकाण्डे एकादशोत्तरशततमः सर्गः
Sarga 111: Counsel on Gurus, Parental Debt, and Bharata’s Protest
एवं मधुरमुक्तस्सन् गुरुणा राघवस्स्वयम्।प्रत्युवाच समासीनं वसिष्ठं पुरुषर्षभः।।।।
evaṃ madhuram uktaḥ san guruṇā rāghavaḥ svayam | pratyuvāca samāsīnaṃ vasiṣṭhaṃ puruṣarṣabhaḥ ||
గురువు మధుర వచనాలతో ఇలా సంబోధించబడిన రాఘవుడు, పురుషోత్తముడై, సమీపంలో ఆసీనుడైన వశిష్ఠునికి తానే ప్రత్యుత్తరం చెప్పెను.
When Rama, the best of men, was advised personally by Vasistha, the preceptor, with sweet words, he replied to him who was sitting beside him:
Dharma is transmitted through respectful dialogue: counsel (upadeśa) and measured reply model how ethical decisions are discussed within tradition.
A transition verse marking that Rāma, after hearing Vasiṣṭha’s sweet counsel, begins his response.
Composure and respect: Rāma responds without agitation, honoring his teacher’s role.
