दूतप्रेषणम् — Dispatch of Messengers to Kekaya
Bharata’s Recall
ते श्रान्तवाहना दूता विकृष्णेन पथा ततः।गिरिव्रजं पुरवरं शीघ्रमासेदुरञ्जसा।।2.68.21।।
te śrāntavāhanā dūtā vikṛṣṇena pathā tataḥ | girivrajaṃ puravaraṃ śīghram āsēdur añjasā || 2.68.21 ||
پھر اُس طویل اور کٹھن راہ کے بعد، قاصد—جن کی سواریوں پر تھکن چھا گئی تھی—سیدھے اور جلدی سے شہرِ برتر، گِریورَج، جا پہنچے۔
After a prolonged journey the messengers with their tired horses soon reached Girivraja, the (capital city of Kekaya kingdom) best of cities.
Dharma is endurance in service: fatigue is acknowledged but does not become an excuse to abandon the mission.
Having travelled far, the messengers arrive at Girivraja, nearing the place where Bharata can be reached.
Steadfastness—continuing until the destination is reached.
