अष्टसप्ततितमः सर्गः — Śatrughna’s Fury and Bharata’s Restraint
Mantharā Episode
अथ यात्रां समीहन्तं शत्रुघ्नो लक्ष्मणानुजः।भरतं शोकसन्तप्तमिदं वचनमब्रवीत्।।।।
atha yātrāṃ samīhantaṃ śatrughno lakṣmaṇānujaḥ | bharataṃ śokasantaptam idaṃ vacanam abravīt ||
అప్పుడు శోకంతో తప్తుడైన భరతుడు ప్రయాణానికి సిద్ధపడగా, లక్ష్మణుని అనుజుడు శత్రుఘ్నుడు అతనితో ఈ వాక్యములు పలికెను।
As the griefstricken Bharata was intending to proceed to Rama, Lakshmana's younger brother Satrughna said to him:
Dharma as wise counsel and solidarity: in crisis, righteous action is supported by brothers and advisers who help convert grief into purposeful duty.
A transition into Sarga 78: Bharata plans to go to Rāma, and Śatrughna begins to address him.
Fraternal support—Śatrughna’s readiness to advise and stand with Bharata in a moment of upheaval.
