स्कन्दोपाख्यानम् — उत्पातशान्तिः, स्वाहारूपविचारः, कौमारमङ्गलक्रियाः
प्रतिपूज्य च तां पूजां द्विज: पप्रच्छ तावुभौ । सुपुत्राभ्यां सभृत्याभ्यां कच्चिद् वां कुशलं गृहे
pratipūjya ca tāṃ pūjāṃ dvijaḥ papraccha tāv ubhau | suputrābhyāṃ sabhṛtyābhyāṃ kaccid vāṃ kuśalaṃ gṛhe ||
وبعد أن تلقّى ذلك التكريم على وجهه وردّ التحية بمثلها، سأل البراهمنُ كليهما: «أكلُّ شيءٍ على ما يرام في بيتكما—مع أبنائكما الصالحين وخدمكما؟» ويعكس هذا السؤال لُطفَ الدارما في الاستفسار عن سلامة الأهل ومن تحت الرعاية، إذ إن الرخاء لا ينفصل عن عافية من يتولاهم المرء.
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
Dharma is expressed through refined conduct: one should reciprocate honor received and inquire after the welfare of others in a way that includes their children and dependents, recognizing responsibility for the whole household.
After being respectfully worshiped/received, a brahmin (as narrated by Markandeya) returns the courtesy and then asks the two people before him whether everything is well at home, specifically mentioning their sons and attendants.
