Shloka 22
ब्राह्मणा ऊचु. पुत्रेण संगतं त्वां तु चक्षुष्मन्तं निरीक्ष्य च सर्वे वयं वै पृच्छामो वृद्धिं वै पृथिवीपते,तब ब्राह्मणोंने कहा--महाराज! पुत्रके साथ आपका मिलन हुआ और आपको नेत्र भी प्राप्त हो गये, इस अवस्थामें आपको देखकर हम सब लोग आपका अभ्युदय मना रहे हैं
brāhmaṇā ūcuḥ | putreṇa saṅgataṁ tvāṁ tu cakṣuṣmantaṁ nirīkṣya ca sarve vayaṁ vai pṛcchāmo vṛddhiṁ vai pṛthivīpate ||
バラモンたちは言った。「大王よ。御子との再会を遂げ、さらに視力を取り戻されたお姿を拝し、われら一同、陛下のご安泰とご繁栄をお尋ね申し上げる。」

Educational Q&A
The verse models dharmic social conduct: elders and Brahmins offer respectful inquiry and blessings to a king, celebrating restoration (reunion and regained sight) and wishing prosperity—an ethic of goodwill, gratitude, and proper address.
Brahmins, seeing the king reunited with his son and now able to see, approach him and formally ask after his welfare and prosperity, expressing communal joy at his improved condition.
