Narrator (contextual; not explicit in verse snippet)
Scene: The king and assembled sage-lords behold Nārada; the king bows, offers a throne-like seat, performs honors, and begins to speak.
True authority bows to spiritual authority; honoring holy guests with upacāra is a celebrated Purāṇic dharma that invites auspicious counsel.
No tīrtha is specified; the focus is on dharmic reception of a divine sage.
Guest-honoring protocol is described: praṇāma (bowing), āsana (offering a seat), and upacāra (hospitality/attentive service).
