taṃ dṛṣṭvā paramaprītau rāghavau puṇyam āśramam |
ūcatuḥ taṃ mahātmānaṃ viśvāmitram idaṃ vacaḥ ||

Dharma includes respectful inquiry—seeking knowledge from a worthy teacher with humility and genuine interest.
After arriving at a sacred hermitage, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa turn to Viśvāmitra to ask about it.
Curiosity guided by reverence—delight in holiness and deference to the sage as interpreter.
