Sa madaling-araw, ihanda at dalhin sa agni-griha, ang santuwaryo ng banal na apoy ng hari: ginto at iba pang mahalagang metal, mga hiyas, mga handog at lahat ng halamang-gamot; mga puting kuwintas ng bulaklak at mga inihaw na butil; pulot at ghee na magkahiwalay; mga bagong kasuotan, isang karwahe at lahat ng uri ng sandata; ang apat-na-sangay na hukbo at isang elepanteng may mapalad na tanda; mga puting pamaypay na buntot-yak, isang watawat at maputing payong; sandaang nagniningning na sisidlang ginto; isang ganap na toro na may sungay na binalutan ng ginto, at isang balat ng tigre.
By tomorrow early morning arrange in the place set aside for sacred fire in the king's palace gold and other metals, gems, articles of worship, also herbs, garlands of white flowers, roasted corn, honey and clarified butter in separate containers, fresh clothes, chariot, weapons of every kind, army of four divisions, an elephant possessing auspicious marks, white fans made of Yak's hair, a standard, white parasol, a hundred golden vessels shining like fire, a bull with goldplated horns and a tiger skin.
Dharma is expressed as orderly performance of sacred and royal duties: careful preparation for rites reflects reverence for truth-bearing ritual (satya) and responsibility in governance.
In Ayodhyā, officials instruct that all materials be assembled in the king’s fire-sanctuary for imminent royal ceremonies (connected with state rites and coronation preparations).
Discipline and meticulousness—ritual and state duties require completeness, purity, and proper arrangement.
