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 ||
Então o marido e a esposa aproximaram-se do venerável guru—honrado até pelas hostes dos deuses—que estava sentado num assento sagrado. Depois de o reverenciarem, permaneceram junto dele em serviço atento, de pé com as mãos postas, encarnando humildade, reverência e disciplina diante dos mais velhos.
अकृतव्रण उवाच
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.
