शिबिकां सुसुवणां मे शीघ्रं वाहयताचिरम् । यथा क्षणेन चैकेन धर्मरण्यं व्रजाम्यहम्
śibikāṃ susuvaṇāṃ me śīghraṃ vāhayatāciram | yathā kṣaṇena caikena dharmaraṇyaṃ vrajāmyaham
“Hãy khiêng kiệu của ta, được trang sức bằng vàng, thật mau, chớ chậm trễ; để như trong một sát-na ta đến được Dharmāraṇya.”
Rāma
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Scene: A gold-adorned palanquin is readied; bearers bend to lift; Rāma gestures forward, eyes fixed on the path to the sacred forest; dust rises as the procession begins.
Eagerness to reach a holy place reflects faith; the tīrtha is treated as urgently worthy of approach.
Dharmāraṇya, presented as a destination whose very arrival is sought with haste and devotion.
No ritual is prescribed here; it emphasizes rapid movement toward the tīrtha.
