Coronation Preparations and the Fast Enjoined
स चैनं प्रश्रितं दृष्ट्वा सम्भाष्याभिप्रसाद्य च।प्रियार्हं हर्षयन्राममित्युवाच पुरोहितः।।।।
sa cainaṁ praśritaṁ dṛṣṭvā sambhāṣyābhiprasādya ca | priyārhaṁ harṣayan rāmam ity uvāca purohitaḥ || 2.5.8 ||
جب خاندان کے پجاری نے رام کو نہایت منکسر دیکھا تو اس سے نرم گفتاری سے بات کی، محبت بھرے اور موزوں کلمات سے اسے مسرور کیا، پھر یوں کہا۔
The family priest Vasistha also, having gratified him by enquiring about his welfare, said thus to Rama, who was humble and lovable:
Maryādā in counsel: elders and teachers guide with kindness and propriety, using truthful speech that uplifts rather than agitates.
Vasiṣṭha, the royal priest, approaches Rāma and prepares to instruct him regarding the impending royal rite.
Rāma’s humility and Vasiṣṭha’s benevolent, dharmic guidance.
