भरद्वाजाश्रमगमनम्
Bharata at Bharadvāja’s Hermitage
अयोध्यायां बले कोशे मित्रेष्वपि च मन्त्रिषु।जानन् दशरथं वृत्तं न राजानमुदाहरत्।।2.90.7।।
ayodhyāyāṃ bale kośe mitreṣv api ca mantriṣu |
jānan daśarathaṃ vṛttaṃ na rājānam udāharat ||2.90.7||
Ngài hỏi về Ayodhyā—quân lực, kho tàng, cùng các đồng minh và quần thần; nhưng vì biết điều đã xảy đến cho vua Daśaratha, ngài không nhắc đến đức vua.
Then the scion of the Raghu race (Bharata) halted his ministers within sight of Bharadwaja's (hermitage) and went along following his priest Vasistha.
Sensitive truthfulness: one may uphold satya without harshness—Bharadvāja avoids abruptly raising Daśaratha’s fate, showing compassionate restraint.
During the welfare inquiry, Bharadvāja asks about state affairs but deliberately does not ask about Daśaratha, aware of the king’s demise.
Tact and compassion—wisdom that chooses appropriate speech (vāg-niyama) in painful contexts.
