ऐणेयं श्रपयस्वैतच्छालां यक्ष्यामहे वयम्।त्वर सौम्य मुहूर्तोऽयं ध्रुवश्च दिवसोऽप्ययम्।।।।
aiṇeyaṃ śrapayasvaitac chālāṃ yakṣyāmahe vayam | tvara saumya muhūrto 'yaṃ dhruvaś ca divaso 'py ayam ||
హే సౌమ్యా! ఈ కృష్ణసార మృగమాంసాన్ని వండి పెట్టు; మనం ఈ శాలకై యజనం చేద్దాం. త్వరపడు—ఈ ముహూర్తం స్థిరం, ఈ దినమూ నియతం.
Cook this venison, O handsome one! We will offer it to the presiding deity of this hut. Hasten, the day and time are fixed (for the rites)
Dharma includes timely performance of duty: sacred acts are done with care for proper timing and procedure, reflecting reverence and self-control.
After the animal is procured, Rāma urges Lakṣmaṇa to cook the venison quickly so the scheduled offering for the hut can proceed.
Rāma’s meticulousness in dharmic observance and Lakṣmaṇa’s service-minded cooperation.
