sametya rājñā vṛṣaparvaṇā te pratyarcitāstena ca vītamohāḥ | śaśaṃsire vistaraśaḥ pravāsaṃ girau yathāvad vṛṣaparvaṇaste ||
Tendo-se encontrado com o rei Vṛṣaparvan, foram por ele devidamente honrados; e, dissipada a confusão, relataram-lhe em detalhe a sua permanência na montanha — exatamente como ocorrera — ao próprio Vṛṣaparvan.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical speech and social order: after receiving proper hospitality from a ruler, one should respond with clear-minded, truthful, and complete reporting (yathāvat, vistaraśaḥ), showing gratitude and integrity rather than confusion or concealment.
A group meets King Vṛṣaparvan, is respectfully received, and then recounts to him—accurately and in detail—the events of their stay on a mountain, with their earlier uncertainty now removed.
