Bharata’s Grief, Courtly Summons, and the Assembly Hall
ब्राह्मणान् क्षत्रियान्वैश्यनमात्यान्गणवल्लभान्।क्षिप्रमानयताऽव्यग्राः कृत्यमात्ययिकं हि नः।।।।
brāhmaṇān kṣatriyān vaiśyān amātyān gaṇavallabhān | kṣipram ānayata avyagrāḥ kṛtyam ātyayikaṃ hi naḥ ||
(พระองค์ตรัสว่า) “จงเชิญพราหมณ์ กษัตริย์ วัยศยะ เสนาบดี และแม่ทัพนายกองมาโดยเร็ว—อย่าได้ตระหนก—เพราะกิจอันเร่งด่วนรอเราอยู่”
Fetch quietly brahmins, kshatriyas, vaisyas, ministers and army commanders at once. A matter of great urgency awaits us.
Dharma is crisis-discipline: urgent action must be taken with steadiness (avyagratā), and society’s pillars are gathered to deliberate and act rightly.
Vasiṣṭha orders messengers to summon key social and political stakeholders for an urgent matter.
Calm urgency—swift execution guided by self-control and respect for proper counsel.
