Jarāsandha–Bhīma Niyuddha-prastāvaḥ

Commencement of the Regulated Duel

तान्‌ पाद्यमधुपकाह्िन्‌ गवार्हान्‌ सत्कृतिं गतान्‌ | प्रत्युत्थाय जरासंध उपतस्थे यथाविधि,वे पाद्य, मधुपर्क और गोदान पानेके योग्य थे। उनका सर्वत्र सत्कार होता था। उन्हें आया देख जरासंध उठकर खड़ा हो गया और उसने विधिपूर्वक उनका आतिथ्य-सत्कार किया

tān pādyamadhupakārhān gavārhān satkṛtiṃ gatān | pratyutthāya jarāsaṃdha upatasthe yathāvidhi ||

彼らは、足を洗う水、マドゥパルカの供物、そして牛の贈り物という、古来の歓待の栄誉にふさわしく、どこでも敬意をもって迎えられていた。来訪を見たジャラーサンダは立ち上がって出迎え、定めの作法に従い、しかるべき歓迎の儀を尽くした。

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights atithi-dharma: honored guests should be received with prescribed respect and offerings, and a ruler’s ethical stature is shown by observing proper hospitality and ritual propriety.

As the honored visitors arrive, Jarāsandha stands up to greet them and performs the formal acts of welcome—pādya, madhuparka, and the cow-gift—treating them according to established custom.
