Translation
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Out of affection for Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira, the king—Ambikā’s son (Dhṛtarāṣṭra)—formally received all of them in due manner and satisfied them by bestowing wealth. The verse highlights courteous hospitality and the ethical duty of honoring guests and dependents through proper rites and generous support.
