Akṛtavraṇa’s Account Begins: Gādhi–Satyavatī–Ṛcīka and the Bhārgava Lineage Prelude
भार्यापती तमासीन॑ गुरुं सुरगणार्चितम् । अर्चित्वा पर्युपासीनौ प्राउ्जली तस्थतुस्तदा,उन दोनों पति-पत्नीने पवित्र आसनपर विराजमान देववृन्दवन्दित गुरु (पिता एवं श्वशुर)-का पूजन किया और उनकी उपासनामें संलग्न हो वे हाथ जोड़े खड़े रहे
bhāryāpatī tam āsīnaṁ guruṁ suragaṇārcitam | arcitvā paryupāsīnau prāñjalī tasthatus tadā ||
Kemudian suami dan isteri itu mendekati guru yang mulia—yang dihormati bahkan oleh para dewa—yang sedang duduk di atas tempat duduk suci. Setelah memuja baginda, mereka tetap dekat dalam khidmat yang penuh perhatian, berdiri dengan tangan dirapatkan, menzahirkan kerendahan hati, penghormatan, dan tata tertib terhadap para tua-tua.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma expressed through reverence to the guru/elders: worship, attentive presence, and humility (standing with folded hands). Ethical excellence is shown not only in speech but in disciplined bodily conduct and service-oriented attentiveness.
A husband and wife approach a revered guru seated on a sacred seat, perform worship, and then remain nearby in respectful attendance, standing with joined palms—signaling readiness to listen, serve, and receive instruction or blessing.
