पुत्रजन्मोत्सवः — Birth of the Princes and Viśvāmitra’s Arrival
Bālakāṇḍa 18
भरतो नाम कैकेय्यां जज्ञे सत्यपराक्रम:।।।।साक्षाद्विष्णोश्चतुर्भागस्सर्वैस्समुदितो गुणै:।
bharato nāma kaikeyyāṃ jajñe satyaparākramaḥ || 1.18.12 ||
sākṣād viṣṇoś caturbhāgaḥ sarvaiḥ samudito guṇaiḥ |
Nơi Kaikeyī sinh ra một người con tên Bharata, dũng lực đặt nền trên chân thật—hiển nhiên là một phần tư của Viṣṇu—đầy đủ mọi đức hạnh viên mãn.
As an incarnation of the fourth part of Visnu, imbued with all virtues, and armed with truth Bharata was born to Kaikeyi.
Satya is presented as the foundation of true strength: Bharata’s valor is ‘truth-powered,’ anticipating his later steadfastness to righteousness and rightful order.
The narration continues the births of Daśaratha’s sons, introducing Bharata and characterizing him through truth and virtue.
Satya-parākrama—courage that is restrained and guided by truth, not by impulse or self-interest.
