कृतसंविदभूत्पूर्वं कुशलस्वागतादिना । पप्रच्छानंतरं कार्यं वदागमनकारणम्
kṛtasaṃvidabhūtpūrvaṃ kuśalasvāgatādinā | papracchānaṃtaraṃ kāryaṃ vadāgamanakāraṇam
पहले कुशल-क्षेम पूछकर और स्वागत करके, उसने फिर कार्य की बात पूछी— “मेरे पास आने का कारण बताइए।”
Narrator (Sūta-style narration within Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: A calm meeting in an āśrama or royal hall: the host offers welcome; the visitor, after greetings, begins the formal inquiry about the purpose of arrival.
Dharma begins with humility and hospitality—proper conduct precedes inquiry into serious matters.
None; the verse concerns social-dharmic conduct.
No formal ritual; it reflects the customary dharma of greeting and welcoming guests.
