Shloka 1.50.6
यज्ञवाटप्रवेशः जनक-विश्वामित्रसंवादश्च (Arrival at the Sacrificial Ground and Janaka’s Reception)
विश्वामित्रमनुप्राप्तं श्रुत्वा स नृपतिस्तदा।शतानन्दं पुरस्कृत्य पुरोहितमनिन्दितम्।।1.50.6।। प्रत्युज्जगाम सहसा विनयेन समन्वित:।
tasya tadvacanaṁ śrutvā janakasya mahātmanaḥ || 1.50.22 || nyavedayan mahātmānau putrau daśarathasya tau |
Hearing those words of the great-souled Janaka, Viśvāmitra introduced the two illustrious youths, declaring them to be the sons of Daśaratha.
When the king heard of the arrival of Viswamitra he went forward with Satananda, the blemishless family priest walking ahead in order to welcome him with humility.
Truthful disclosure and accountability: Viśvāmitra responds with clear identification, enabling dharmic action within royal and ritual protocols.
After Janaka’s inquiry, Viśvāmitra formally states the princes’ lineage as Daśaratha’s sons.
Viśvāmitra’s truthfulness and propriety: he presents the princes appropriately in a royal-sacrificial setting.
