Canto 2 -
Ayodhyā-kāṇḍa
Chapter 98: Bharata Locates Rāma’s Āśrama
Text 2.98.15
स तानि द्रुमजालानि जातानि गिरिसानुषु।
पुष्पिताग्राणि मध्येन जगाम वदतांवरः॥
sa tāni druma-jālāni jātāni giri-sānuṣu
puṣpitāgrāṇi madhyena jagāma vadatāṁ varaḥ
saḥ = that; tāni druma-jālāni = a network of trees; jātāni = and which grew; giri-sānuṣu = on the slopes of the mountain; puṣpita-agrāṇi = whose tops flowered; madhyena = through; jagāma = passed; vadatām = of speakers; varaḥ = best.
That best of speakers passed through a network of trees whose tops flowered and which grew on the slopes of the mountain.
Vadatāṁ varaḥ (“best of speakers”) indicates that Bharata walked while contemplating on what to talk about in Rāma’s presence.
