ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。すると四方から侍者たちが素早く集まり、宝玉と黄金を嵌め込んだ、清らかで大きく広々とした座を運び入れて、所定の場所に据えた。この場面は王廷 सभा の厳粛な作法を示す。外面的な秩序と敬意のしつらえが、義務と迫り来る争いをめぐる重い評議に寄り添うのである。

The verse highlights the dharmic value of proper conduct in public affairs: even when grave decisions loom, a court maintains order, respect, and hospitality—external discipline reflecting the seriousness of ethical and political responsibility.
As the assembly is being arranged, attendants bring and set out large, clean seats decorated with gems and gold, preparing the space for an important royal gathering and discussion.
