28 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे त्र्यशीतितमः सर्गः ॥२-८३॥ ततः समुत्थितः काल्यम् आस्थाय स्यन्दन उत्तमम् । प्रययौ भरतः शीघ्रम् राम दर्शन कान्क्षया ॥२-८३-१॥
In the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa, the eighty-third canto. Then, having risen early and mounting an excellent chariot, Bharata went forth quickly, with longing for the sight of Rāma.
अग्रतः प्रययुस् तस्य सर्वे मन्त्रि पुरोधसः । अधिरुह्य हयैः युक्तान् रथान् सूर्य रथ उपमान् ॥२-८३-२॥
All his ministers and household priests went ahead of him. Having mounted chariots yoked with horses and comparable to the chariot of the sun, they proceeded.
नव नाग सहस्राणि कल्पितानि यथा विधि । अन्वयुर् भरतम् यान्तम् इक्ष्वाकु कुल नन्दनम् ॥२-८३-३॥
Nine thousand elephants, prepared according to rule, followed Bharata as he proceeded—the delight of the lineage of Ikṣvāku.
षष्ठी रथ सहस्राणि धन्विनो विविध आयुधाः । अन्वयुर् भरतम् यान्तम् राज पुत्रम् यशस्विनम् ॥२-८३-४॥
The transmitted form षष्ठी literally means “sixth” and does not straightforwardly construe here with “thousands of chariots.” The conditional intended sense may be “sixty thousand chariots.” Archers bearing various weapons followed Bharata as he proceeded, the illustrious king’s son.
शतम् सहस्राणि अश्वानाम् समारूढानि राघवम् । अन्वयुर् भरतम् यान्तम् राज पुत्रम् यशस्विनम् ॥२-८३-५॥
A hundred thousand horsemen followed the glorious Bharata, the Rāghava, as he went—the prince, illustrious son of the king.
