ततः कृतोदकं स्नातं तं गृध्रं हरियूथपाः।उपविष्टा गिरौ रम्ये परिवार्य समन्ततः।।4.60.1।।
tataḥ kṛtodakaṃ snātaṃ taṃ gṛdhraṃ hariyūthapāḥ | upaviṣṭā girau ramye parivārya samantataḥ || 4.60.1 ||
Bấy giờ, sau khi tắm gội và dâng lễ thủy cúng, các thủ lĩnh loài khỉ ngồi trên ngọn núi xinh đẹp, vây quanh chim kền kền ấy khắp bốn phía.
Sampati bathed and offered libations to Jatayu. Then all the monkeys sat round him on the beautiful mountain.
Dharma as proper conduct and respect: bathing and offering water signifies ritual responsibility and honoring bonds, even amid urgent missions.
The monkeys gather around Sampāti on a mountain after performing bathing and water rites, preparing to hear and plan further.
Discipline and reverence—maintaining righteous customs while pursuing a righteous goal.
