The Arrival of Janaka’s Messengers in Ayodhya
बद्धाञ्जलिपुटा स्सर्वे दूता विगतसाध्वसा:।राजानं प्रयता वाक्यमब्रुवन्मधुराक्षरम्।।1.68.4।।
baddhāñjali-puṭāḥ sarve dūtā vigata-sādhvasāḥ |
rājānaṁ prayatā vākyam abruvan madhurākṣaram || 1.68.4 ||
众使者合掌致敬,惧意尽消,恭谨地以温雅甜美之辞向国王陈述。
Reaching the king's palace the messengers said to the door-keepers, "Let kingDasaratha be immediately informed that the messengers from Janaka have come".
Dharma is respectful communication: truthful messages should be delivered with humility and civility, especially in royal and diplomatic settings.
Having entered the palace, the envoys begin their formal address to King Daśaratha.
The envoys’ self-control and propriety—fearless yet deferential.
