आश्वासयित्वा च चमूं महात्मा निवेशयित्वा च यथोपजोषम्।द्रष्टुं भरद्वाजमृषिप्रवर्य मृत्विग्वृतस्सन्भरतः प्रतस्थे।।।।
āśvāsayitvā ca camūṃ mahātmā niveśayitvā ca yathopajoṣam | draṣṭuṃ bharadvājam ṛṣipravaryaṃ ṛtvigvṛtaḥ san bharataḥ pratasthē ||
Sau khi vỗ về và cho quân đội nghỉ ngơi, an trí họ theo ý muốn, Đại hồn Bharata—cùng các vị tế sư đi theo—liền lên đường đến yết kiến bậc thánh hiền tối thượng, Ṛṣi Bharadvāja.
O king (Guha)! the night passed comfortably for us. We have been honoured by you in many ways. Let your fishermen be ordered to ferry us across the Ganga in their boats.
Dharma is leadership joined with reverence: Bharata responsibly settles the army’s needs and then approaches a sage, honoring spiritual authority and counsel.
Having reached the Prayāga region, Bharata encamps his forces and goes with priests to visit sage Bharadvāja.
Bharata’s prudent command and humility before learned ascetics.
