Translation
ब्राह्मण म्हणाला—जसा प्रवासाने थकलेल्या वाटसरूला शय्या मिळाल्यावर, उभे राहून थकलेल्या माणसाला आसन मिळाल्यावर, तहानेल्याला पाणी मिळाल्यावर आणि भुकेने व्याकुळाला भोजन मिळाल्यावर समाधान होते—तशीच प्रसन्नता तुमचे वचन ऐकून मला झाली आहे.

The verse praises the power of timely support and kind, fitting words: just as basic necessities (rest, a seat, water, food) relieve specific forms of suffering, so wise speech can bring immediate inner comfort and joy.
A brāhmaṇa responds appreciatively to what has been said to him, using vivid comparisons to express how deeply satisfied and comforted he feels upon hearing the other person’s words.
