Adhyāya 325: Nārada in Śvetadvīpa—Stotra to the Nirguṇa Mahātman

कालोपपन्नेन तदा स्वाद्धन्नेना भ्यतर्पयन्‌ । उन्होंने पाद्य, अर्घ्ध आदि निवेदन करके उत्तम विधिसे शुकदेवजीका पूजन किया और उन्हें समयानुकूल स्वादिष्ठ अन्न भोजन कराकर पूर्णतः तृप्त किया

kālopapannena tadā svādu-annenābhyatarpayat | pādya-arghyādi-nivedanena ca uttama-vidhinā śukadevaṃ pūjayām āsa, kālānukūlena svādiṣṭānnena bhojayitvā paritoṣayām āsa |

അപ്പോൾ അദ്ദേഹം പാദ്യം, അർഘ്യം മുതലായ ആദരങ്ങൾ സമർപ്പിച്ച് ഉത്തമവിധിയിൽ ശുകദേവനെ പൂജിച്ചു; സമയോചിതമായ രുചികരമായ അന്നം ഭോജിപ്പിച്ച് അദ്ദേഹത്തെ പൂർണ്ണമായി തൃപ്തനാക്കി.

Educational Q&A

Dharma is expressed through timely and respectful hospitality: honoring a worthy guest—especially a sage—by offering traditional courtesies (pādya, arghya, etc.) and providing suitable food with proper etiquette, thereby cultivating humility, reverence, and social-ritual order.

The host receives Śukadeva and performs formal guest-honors, worships him according to proper procedure, and then feeds him with seasonally appropriate, delicious food until he is fully satisfied; Bhīṣma narrates this as an example of correct conduct.
