Cyavana’s Yogic Display and Kuśika’s Recognition of Tapas (च्यवन-योगप्रभावः कुशिकस्य तपःप्रशंसा च)
शौचं कृत्वा यथान्यायं प्राज्जलि: प्रयतो नृप: । आत्मानमाचचक्षे च च्यवनाय महात्मने,उन्होंने पवित्रभावसे हाथ जोड़कर मनको एकाग्र रखते हुए न््यायोचित रीतिसे महात्मा च्यवनको अपना परिचय दिया
śaucaṃ kṛtvā yathānyāyaṃ prāñjaliḥ prayato nṛpaḥ | ātmānam ācacakṣe ca cyavanāya mahātmane ||
وبعد أن أتى الملكُ بالتطهير المأمور به على الوجه اللائق، وقف خاشعًا وقد ضمّ كفّيه إجلالًا وضبطَ ذهنه، ثم عرّف بنفسه لدى الحكيم العظيم تشيافانا. ويُبرز هذا المشهد أن السلوك القويم يبدأ بالطهارة ظاهرًا وباطنًا، وبالتواضع، وبحسن التعريف بالنفس أمام مُعلّمٍ جليل.

Educational Q&A
Proper conduct (dharma) is shown through śauca (purity), self-restraint, and respectful humility—approaching the wise with joined hands and disciplined attention before speaking or acting.
A king, after performing the appropriate purification rites, approaches the sage Cyavana with reverence and formally identifies himself, establishing a respectful and rule-bound setting for the ensuing instruction or interaction.
