इति श्रुत्वा वचः क्षिप्रं विश्वामित्रः प्रयत्नतः । स्थाल्यां पायसमादाय तं समर्प्य ततः स्वयम्
iti śrutvā vacaḥ kṣipraṃ viśvāmitraḥ prayatnataḥ | sthālyāṃ pāyasamādāya taṃ samarpya tataḥ svayam
हे वचन ऐकून विश्वामित्रांनी तत्क्षणी प्रयत्नपूर्वक भांड्यात पायस घेऊन त्याला अर्पण केला; मग स्वतः (सेवेत) लागले.
Agastya (narrating); action by Viśvāmitra
Tirtha: Ayodhyā-kṣetra (frame)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Viśvāmitra lifts a bowl (sthālī) of steaming pāyasa and offers it with both hands; Durvāsā receives it, gaze steady; the hermitage hearth glows behind.
True tapas includes humility and service—promptly honoring guests is part of spiritual discipline.
The verse is narrative and does not name a tirtha; it occurs within the Ayodhyā Māhātmya context.
Offering food to a guest immediately and properly (with care and a suitable vessel) is implied as correct practice.
