The verse highlights a basic ethic of household life: receive a vulnerable or unexpected arrival with care, and then act responsibly by informing the rightful guardian/householder so that the situation is handled openly and properly.
A noble woman, prompted by curiosity, accepts and arranges care for someone who has arrived; afterward she informs Adhiratha, the charioteer, indicating that the matter is being brought to the attention of the head of the household.
