यत्ता भवन्तस्तिष्ठन्तु नेतो गन्तव्यमग्रतः।
अहमेव गमिष्यामि सुमन्त्रो गुरुरेव च॥
yattā bhavantas tiṣṭhantu neto gantavyam agrataḥ
aham eva gamiṣyāmi sumantro gurur eva ca
yattāḥ bhavantaḥ tiṣṭhantu = stay silent here; na itaḥ gantavyam agrataḥ = don’t move forwrd; aham eva gamiṣyāmi = I will Myself go; sumantraḥ = along with Sumantra; guruḥ = our guru Vasiṣṭha; eva ca = and.
Stay silent here. Don’t move forward. I will Myself go along with Sumantra and our guru Vasiṣṭha.
Bharata among the kings, Sumantra among the ministers and His guru Vasiṣṭha among the sacrificial priests would go.
