Kāṣṭhīlā-Ākhyāna: Ratnāvalī’s Return, Co-wife Dharma, and the Phālguna Propitiation
ततोऽहं बंधुवर्गेण भूयोभूयः प्रबोधिता । आहूता स्वामिना गच्छ सम्मानेन तदंतिकम् ॥ ६६ ॥
tato'haṃ baṃdhuvargeṇa bhūyobhūyaḥ prabodhitā | āhūtā svāminā gaccha sammānena tadaṃtikam || 66 ||
പിന്നീട് ബന്ധുക്കൾ എന്നെ വീണ്ടും വീണ്ടും ഉപദേശിച്ച് ഉണർത്തി. സ്വാമി വിളിച്ചപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ ആദരത്തോടെ അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ സമീപത്തേക്ക് ചെന്നു.

It highlights maryādā (reverent propriety): even amid personal pressure from relatives, one responds to a rightful summons with humility and honor, reflecting dharmic conduct.
Though not explicitly naming Vishnu-bhakti, it models the bhakti attitude of respectful approach (sammāna) toward one’s lord—an inner posture central to service (sevā) and surrender.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana, Jyotisha, or Kalpa) is taught directly; the practical takeaway is dharmic etiquette—responding promptly and respectfully when called, a key element of sadācāra often assumed in Kalpa-based ritual culture.
