शिबिकायामथा़ऽरोप्य राजानं गतचेतसम्।बाष्पकण्ठा विमनसस्तमूहुः परिचारकाः।।2.76.14।।
śibikāyām athāropya rājānaṁ gata-cetasam | bāṣpa-kaṇṭhā vimanasaḥ tam ūhuḥ paricārakāḥ || 2.76.14 ||
پھر خادموں نے بےجان بادشاہ کو شِبِکا (جنازہ تخت) پر رکھ دیا؛ دل گرفتہ اور آنسوؤں سے گلا بھرا ہوا، وہ اسے اٹھا کر لے چلے۔
Thereafter the attendants raised the mortal remains of the deceased king onto a litter, with dejected minds, throats choked with tears and carried him away.
Dharma honors the dead with dignified rites; even while grieving, one performs compassionate service and maintains communal respect for the departed.
Daśaratha’s body is placed on a bier and carried by attendants as the funeral procession begins.
Loyal service (sevā) and reverence—attendants fulfill their duty despite overwhelming sorrow.
