अस्त्रप्रदानम्
Bestowal of Divine Astras to Rama
अथ तां रजनीमुष्य विश्वामित्रो महायशाः।प्रहस्य राघवं वाक्यमुवाच मधुराक्षरम्।।।।
atha tāṃ rajanīm uṣya viśvāmitro mahāyaśāḥ |
prahasya rāghavaṃ vākyam uvāca madhurākṣaram ||1.27.1||
随后度过那一夜,声名显赫的毗湿瓦密多含笑以柔和甘美之辞对罗伽婆说道。
The night over, illustrious Viswamitra called Rama with a sweet smile.
Dharma is shown through rightful instruction and guidance: the guru approaches the student with clarity and goodwill, preparing him for righteous duty.
After the night’s halt, Viśvāmitra begins a new phase of training by addressing Rāma—leading into the bestowal of divine weapons.
Guru’s compassion and discernment: Viśvāmitra’s gentle speech frames power as disciplined knowledge, not mere force.
