दूतप्रेषणम् — Dispatch of Messengers to Kekaya
Bharata’s Recall
निकूलवृक्षमासाद्य दिव्यं सत्योपयाचनम्।अभिगम्याभिवाद्यं तं कुलिङ्गां प्राविशन्पुरीम्।।2.68.16।।
nikūlavṛkṣam āsādya divyaṃ satyopayācanam | abhigamyābhivādyaṃ taṃ kuliṅgāṃ prāviśan purīm || 2.68.16 ||
తీరప్రాంతంలోని ‘సత్యోపయాచన’ అనే దివ్యమైన, వందనీయ వృక్షాన్ని చేరి, దానిని సమీపించి నమస్కరించి, వారు కులింగా నగరంలో ప్రవేశించారు।
There they saw the brahmins versed in the Vedas and drank water with cupped palms. Then they continued their journey through the middle of Bahlika country, and reached Sudama mountain.
Dharma includes honoring the sacred and aligning desire with truth (satya): reverence is offered before proceeding with worldly tasks.
On their route, the messengers reach a revered tree named Satyopayācana, salute it, and then enter Kuliṅgā city.
Respect for sacred tradition alongside efficiency—devotion without abandoning duty.
