Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct: a ruler should honor spiritual wisdom and observe proper etiquette (rising, approaching, welcoming) when a sage arrives. Respectful reception is presented as an ethical duty and a sign of cultivated kingship.
Janamejaya sees a sage arrive and immediately stands up with happiness. With his attendants, he quickly goes forward to greet and receive the visitor respectfully.
