तन्मां स्वयमनुप्राप्तामभिनन्द शचीपते
tan māṁ svayam anuprāptām abhinanda śacīpate
„Heiße mich willkommen—mich, der aus eigenem Antrieb hierher gelangt ist, o Herr der Śacī!“ Mit dieser Anrede drängt Śakra (Indra) auf einen ehrerbietigen Empfang und betont die dharmische Norm: Ein ankommender Gast, zumal einer, der persönlich und ohne Zwang kommt, ist mit gebührender Höflichkeit zu ehren.

The verse highlights the dharmic principle of honoring one who arrives as a guest or visitor—especially one who comes personally and willingly—by offering a proper welcome and respectful reception.
Śakra (Indra), speaking in the Śānti Parva discourse context, addresses “Śacīpati” (Indra’s epithet) in a rhetorical or self-referential manner to emphasize that the arriving figure should be greeted and honored, reinforcing norms of courteous reception.
