भरतस्य प्रार्थना—रामस्य धर्मोपदेशः
Bharata’s Petition and Rama’s Dharma-Reasoning
यन्निमित्तमिमं देशं कृष्णाजिनजटाधरः।हित्वा राज्यं प्रविष्टस्त्वं तत्सर्वं वक्तुमर्हसि।।।।
yan-nimittam imaṁ deśaṁ kṛṣṇājinajaṭādharaḥ |
hitvā rājyaṁ praviṣṭas tvaṁ tat sarvaṁ vaktum arhasi ||
Vì duyên cớ gì mà ngài—mặc da hươu đen, tóc bện thành búi—lại bỏ vương quốc để vào miền này? Xin ngài hãy nói rõ tất cả cho ta.
What made you come to this region, leaving the kingdom and wearing deer skin and matted hair? You should tell me everything.
Dharma begins with truthful inquiry and clarity; Bharata seeks the factual cause so that right action can be taken based on truth, not assumption.
Bharata encounters Rama in ascetic dress and asks him to explain why he left the kingdom and entered the forest region.
Vicāra (discernment) and accountability—Bharata demands a full explanation before proceeding.
