भरद्वाजाश्रमे भरतसैन्यस्य दिव्यात्मिथ्यम् / Divine Hospitality to Bharata’s Army at Bharadvaja’s Hermitage
तस्मिन्नुपरते शब्दे दिव्ये श्रोत्र सुखे नृणाम् ।
ददर्श भारतं सैन्यं विधानं विश्वकर्मणः ॥२८॥
tasminn uparate śabde divye śrotrasukhe nṛṇām |
dadarśa bhārataṃ sainyaṃ vidhānaṃ viśvakarmaṇaḥ ||28||
ఆ దివ్యమైన, శ్రోత్రసుఖకరమైన శబ్దం శాంతించిన తరువాత, భరతుని సైన్యం విశ్వకర్ముని అద్భుత నిర్మాణంలాంటి ఏర్పాటును దర్శించింది।
When the celestial sounds pleasing to the ears of men had subsided, the army of Bharata beheld the wonderful creations of Visvakarma.
The verse supports atithi-dharma (righteous hospitality): extraordinary provisions are presented to honor guests, reflecting moral duty expressed through generous care.
After the celestial music ends, Bharata’s assembled forces witness the miraculous, architecturally perfect hospitality arrangements.
Bharadvāja’s hostly righteousness (atithi-sevā) is implied through the grandeur provided for Bharata and his army.
