अथोपविष्टे नृपतौ तस्मिन्परबलार्दने।।2.1.48।। ततः प्रविविशु श्शेषा राजानो लोकसम्मताः।
athopaviṣṭe nṛpatau tasminparabalārdane tataḥ praviviśu śśeṣā rājāno lokasammatāḥ|
After the king (Dasaratha) who was a tormenter of enemy forces was seated, the rest of the kings beloved of their subjects entered (the assembly hall).
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Dasharatha takes his seat among the assembled kings, a 'tormenter of enemy forces.' The epithet reminds us that this gentle, aging father was once a fierce warrior. He has earned the right to choose his successor through a lifetime of protecting his people.
