ऋतुपर्णस्य विदर्भयात्रा-निश्चयः तथा बाहुकस्य हयपरिक्षा (Ṛtuparṇa’s resolve to go to Vidarbha and Bāhuka’s examination of horses)
ततः सा न चिरादेव विदर्भानगमत् पुनः । तां तु बन्धु जन: सर्व: प्रहष्ट समपूजयत्,तदनन्तर वहाँसे विदा हो वह थोड़े ही दिनोंमें विदर्भदेशकी राजधानीमें जा पहुँची। उसके आगमनसे माता-पिता आदि सभी बन्धु-बान्धव बड़े प्रसन्न हुए और सबने उसका स्वागत-सत्कार किया
tataḥ sā na cirād eva vidarbhān agamat punaḥ | tāṁ tu bandhu-janaḥ sarvaḥ praharṣaḥ samapūjayat |
Then, before long, she returned to Vidarbha. At her arrival, all her kinsfolk—her parents and the rest—were filled with joy and received her with due honor and hospitality, upholding the dharmic duty of family to protect and welcome their own in times of distress.
