सगरयज्ञाश्वहरणम्
The Stolen Sacrificial Horse of Sagara
तद्गच्छत विचिन्वध्वं पुत्रका: भद्रमस्तु व:।समुद्रमालिनीं सर्वां पृथिवीमनुगच्छत।।1.39.13।।
tad gacchata vicinvadhvaṁ putrakāḥ bhadram astu vaḥ |
samudramālinīṁ sarvāṁ pṛthivīm anugacchata ||1.39.13||
Vậy nên, hỡi các con của ta, hãy đi và tìm kiếm; nguyện điều cát tường ở cùng các con. Hãy đi khắp và dò xét toàn cõi địa cầu, vốn được biển cả bao quanh.
'O sons, acquiring yojana by yojana the length and breadth of the earth, search for the thief of the horse. Excavate the earth till the time the horse is found. This is my command'.
Dharma is the performance of assigned duty with courage and care—Sagara sends his sons to act decisively while also blessing their safety, balancing authority with responsibility.
Sagara formally dispatches his sons to search across the entire world for the cause of the sacrificial disruption (the missing horse).
Leadership that combines command with goodwill—he issues a clear task and invokes auspicious protection for those who must carry it out.
