Tras saludar con reverencia a aquel sabio magnánimo, observante estricto de sus votos, todos permanecieron de pie ante él. El muni, a su vez, aceptó su homenaje y los honró conforme a la costumbre, ofreciéndoles arghya y demás ofrendas rituales.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma expressed as mutual respect: visitors show humility by saluting a disciplined sage, and the sage responds by honoring them through proper hospitality (arghya and related offerings). Reverence and reception are presented as complementary ethical duties.
A group approaches a revered, vow-observing sage, offers salutations, and stands respectfully. The sage then performs the customary reception by offering arghya and other items, formally welcoming and honoring them.
