एवमुक्त्वा गृहीत्वा तं स्वहस्तालंबनं तदा । ययौ तत्र सभास्थानं बृहत्सिंहासनाश्रयम्
evamuktvā gṛhītvā taṃ svahastālaṃbanaṃ tadā | yayau tatra sabhāsthānaṃ bṛhatsiṃhāsanāśrayam
असे बोलून त्याने तेव्हा आपल्या हाताचा आधार देत त्यांना धरले आणि मोठ्या सिंहासनाने युक्त अशा सभास्थानाकडे गेला.
Sūta (continuing narration)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā (Satyānāmikā)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The king gently holds the sage’s hand/forearm as support; they walk toward a grand hall with a large lion-throne; pillars, banners, and lamps line the path.
Hospitality is dharma in action: the ruler personally escorts the sage, signaling that spiritual authority outranks worldly power.
Ayodhyā remains the narrative setting; its sanctity is reflected in the respectful reception of a great muni.
No ritual is prescribed; the conduct of atithi-satkāra—escorting and honoring a holy guest—is exemplified.
