Subhadrā’s Petition to Kṛṣṇa for the Revival of Parīkṣit (अभिमन्युज-प्राणरक्षा-प्रार्थना)
तानागतान् समीक्ष्यैव धृतराष्ट्रो महीपति: । प्रत्यगृह्नाद् यथान्यायं विदुरश्ष महामना:
vaiśampāyana uvāca | tān āgatān samīkṣyaiva dhṛtarāṣṭro mahīpatiḥ | pratyagṛhṇād yathānyāyaṃ viduraś ca mahāmanāḥ ||
قال فايشَمبايانا: لما رآهم قد قدموا، نهض الملك دْهريتاراشترا، سيدُ الأرض، ومعه فيدورا ذو النفس العظيمة، وتقدّما لاستقبالهم، ووفقًا لما يقتضيه العُرف القويم (يَثا-نيَايَا)، تلقّياهُم استقبالًا رسميًّا بما يليق من الترحيب والتكريم.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights yathā-nyāya (propriety) as a facet of dharma: those in authority should uphold respectful reception and due honor toward arrivals/guests, maintaining ethical order through correct conduct.
Upon learning of the visitors’ arrival, Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Vidura rise, go forward, and welcome them formally, performing the customary acts of reception and honor.
