त॑ देशमगमद् यत्र श्रीमान् रामो व्यवस्थित: । प्रत्युत्थाय च त॑ सम्पक् पूजयित्वा यतव्रतम्
taṁ deśam agamad yatra śrīmān rāmo vyavasthitaḥ | pratyutthāya ca taṁ samyak pūjayitvā yatavrataṁ ||
ಅವನು ಶ್ರೀಮಾನ್ ರಾಮನು ನೆಲೆಸಿದ್ದ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದನು. ಬಳಿಕ ಎದ್ದು ನಿಂತು, ಆ ಯತವ್ರತನನ್ನು ಯಥಾವಿಧಿಯಾಗಿ ಗೌರವಿಸಿ ಪೂಜಿಸಿದನು.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Proper conduct (dharma) is shown through respectful greeting and honoring the virtuous—especially those marked by self-restraint (yatavrata). Social and ethical order is maintained by recognizing merit and discipline.
A person goes to the location where Rāma is positioned, rises to greet him, and offers due honor, indicating formal reception and reverence toward a disciplined figure.
