Shloka 20
ततश्लाश्रममागच्छत् सिद्धचारणसेवितम् । दिदृक्षुभि: समाकीर्ण नभस्तारागणैरिव,इसके बाद वे सबके साथ सिद्ध और चारणोंसे सेवित अपने आश्रमपर आये। उस समय उनका आश्रम तारोंसे व्याप्त हुए आकाशकी भाँति दर्शकोंसे भरा था
tataś cāśramam āgacchat siddhacāraṇasevitam | didṛkṣubhiḥ samākīrṇaṃ nabhas tārāgaṇair iva ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: Dann gelangte er zur Einsiedelei, die von Siddhas und Cāraṇas bedient wurde. Der Āśrama war von Schaulustigen erfüllt, wie der Himmel von Sternscharen.

The verse highlights the sanctity of the hermitage and the ethical weight of entering the renunciant stage: when elders turn toward austerity and withdrawal, even exalted beings and ordinary people gather in reverence, treating the āśrama as a moral and spiritual center.
The speaker describes the arrival at the hermitage, which is attended by Siddhas and Cāraṇas and packed with people eager to see; the crowd is compared to star-clusters filling the sky.
