मद्दक्षिणेति गुरुणा निर्बन्धाद्याचितो रुषा । आगतः स मुनिः कौत्सस्ततो याचितुमादरात् । रघुं भूपालतिलकं दत्तसर्वस्वदक्षिणम्
maddakṣiṇeti guruṇā nirbandhādyācito ruṣā | āgataḥ sa muniḥ kautsastato yācitumādarāt | raghuṃ bhūpālatilakaṃ dattasarvasvadakṣiṇam
在师长执意催逼道“我的达克希那(供养)!”之下,考特萨虽心中烦恼仍前来;继而他怀着恭敬之心,去向罗古——诸王之冠饰——请求,因为罗古早已将一切财物尽施为祭祀的达克希那。
Agastya (contextual continuation)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Kautsa, inwardly troubled yet dutiful, stands before King Raghu. The king—already emptied by prior dakṣiṇā—appears calm, compassionate, and resolute. Courtiers look anxious; empty treasury chests or sparse offerings hint at ‘dattasarvasva’.
Dharma tests both giver and seeker: the king’s total generosity and the disciple’s duty to fulfill guru-dakṣiṇā meet in a moral dilemma.
Ayodhyā’s royal-sage culture is foregrounded, presenting the city as a stage for exemplary dharma.
Guru-dakṣiṇā is demanded and sought; Raghu is described as having already offered sarvasva-dakṣiṇā in sacrifice.
