Sarga 6: The Sages’ Appeal and Instruction on Royal Duty
शरभङ्गे दिवं प्राप्ते मुनिसङ्घास्समागताः।अभ्यगच्छन्त काकुत्स्थं रामं ज्वलिततेजसम्।।।।
śarabhaṅge divaṃ prāpte munisaṅghāḥ samāgatāḥ |
abhyagacchanta kākutsthaṃ rāmaṃ jvalitatejasam ||
舍罗婆伽升入天界之后，众多牟尼之众聚集而来，前往拜见迦拘特斯陀族的罗摩；他光辉炽盛，威德如焰。
When Sarabhanga attained the heaven, all the sages collected together and came to Rama whose radiance was like fire.
FAQs
The verse frames Rāma as a dharmic center of gravity: sages approach him because righteous kingship protects ascetic life; the moral axis is the mutual support between tapas (ascetic merit) and kṣatra-dharma (royal duty).
Following Śarabhaṅga’s departure to heaven, sages gather and come to meet Rāma in the forest, preparing to present concerns about safety and righteousness.
Rāma’s tejas (moral-spiritual radiance) is emphasized—his presence signifies strength aligned with dharma, not mere force.
