अस्त्रप्रदानम्
Bestowal of Divine Astras to Rama
स्थितस्तु प्राङ्मुखो भूत्वा शुचिर्मुनिवरस्तदा।ददौ रामाय सुप्रीतो मन्त्रग्राममनुत्तमम्।।।।
sthitas tu prāṅmukho bhūtvā śucir munivaras tadā |
dadau rāmāya suprīto mantragrāmam anuttamam ||
于是,那位最尊贵的圣仙洁净其身,面向东方,心怀欢喜,将无与伦比的真言总集赐予罗摩。
Viswamitra, the greatest ascetic after the purification ritual stood with his face turned east and happily, conferred on Rama collection of the unique mantras.
Dharma is upheld through sanctified procedure: purity, right orientation, and proper transmission show that sacred power is not casual—it is disciplined and ethically bounded.
The narration describes the formal act by which Viśvāmitra confers mantra-knowledge enabling the use of astras.
Reverence for sacred order (niyama): Viśvāmitra models meticulous spiritual discipline; Rāma is the worthy recipient.
