Valmiki Ramayana · Bala Kanda · Sarga 2
स तु तीरं समासाद्य तमसाया महामुनि: । शिष्यमाह स्थितं पार्श्वे दृष्ट्वा तीर्थमकर्दमम्
sa tu tīraṃ samāsādya tamasāyā mahāmuni: | śiṣyamāha sthitaṃ pārśve dṛṣṭvā tīrthamakardamam
The eminent sage Valmiki reached the bank of Tamasa and seen a descent into the river with pellucid waters, spoke to the disciple standing by the side.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Valmiki sees a bathing ghat on the Tamasa with pellucid waters and calls to his disciple Bharadwaja. The scene echoes the opening: a teacher and student approaching a source of wisdom. The poet is now the teacher.
