Educational Q&A

A ruler’s dharma includes honoring and welcoming sages: humility, hospitality, and reverence for spiritual merit are presented as essential qualities of righteous kingship.

The king learns that the sage Agastya has arrived, goes with his ministers to the edge of the kingdom, and formally receives him with great respect, bringing him in with proper honors.
