अयोध्याकाण्डे पञ्चसप्ततितमः सर्गः
Sarga 75: Bharata and Kausalya—Reproach, Oaths, and Reconciliation
भक्त्या विवदमानेषु मार्गमाश्रित्य पश्यतः।तस्य पापेन युज्येत यस्यार्योऽनुमते गतः।।।।
bhaktyā vivadamāneṣu mārgam āśritya paśyataḥ | tasya pāpena yujyeta yasya āryo 'numate gataḥ ||
جس کے اذن سے میرے شریف بھائی کو جلاوطن کیا گیا، وہ اس گناہ کا بوجھ اٹھائے کہ جب جھگڑنے والے باہم مناظرہ کریں تو وہ بھکتی کے نام پر ایک طرف کا سہارا لے کر تماشائی بنا رہے اور یک طرفہ راہ اختیار کرے۔
May that one who counselled the exile of my esteemed brother acquire the sin in the same way a person acquires while giving one-sided judgement between divided religious disputants!
Dharma in judgment requires impartiality grounded in truth (satya); deciding from factional loyalty rather than fairness is sinful.
Bharata likens the sanctioning of exile to corrupt adjudication—choosing sides in a dispute out of attachment.
Commitment to fair-mindedness: Bharata frames the exile as a failure of just governance and truthful discernment.
