sutau daśarathasyemau dhanur-darśakāṅkṣiṇau | dhanur darśaya rāmāya rājaputrāya daivikam || 2.118.46 ||
“Đây là hai hoàng tử, con của vua Daśaratha, khát khao được chiêm ngưỡng cây cung. Xin hãy trình bày cây cung thiêng liêng ấy cho Thái tử Rāma.”
'Both these sons of king Dasaratha wish to see the bow. Show the divine bow to prince Rama'.
Dharma of guidance: a sage directs worthy action by recognizing merit and giving a rightful opportunity without coercion.
Viśvāmitra requests that the famed divine bow be shown to Rāma (and Lakṣmaṇa).
Viśvāmitra’s discernment and Rāma’s respectful readiness to engage with a sacred challenge.
