स्कन्दोपाख्यानम् — उत्पातशान्तिः, स्वाहारूपविचारः, कौमारमङ्गलक्रियाः
प्रतिपूज्य च तां पूजां द्विज: पप्रच्छ तावुभौ । सुपुत्राभ्यां सभृत्याभ्यां कच्चिद् वां कुशलं गृहे
pratipūjya ca tāṃ pūjāṃ dvijaḥ papraccha tāv ubhau | suputrābhyāṃ sabhṛtyābhyāṃ kaccid vāṃ kuśalaṃ gṛhe ||
เมื่อรับการบูชานั้นแล้วและตอบแทนด้วยความเคารพ พราหมณ์ผู้เป็นทวิชะจึงถามท่านทั้งสองว่า “ในเรือนของท่าน ทั้งพร้อมด้วยบุตรผู้ประเสริฐและคนรับใช้ทั้งหลาย อยู่ดีมีสุขโดยทั่วกันหรือไม่?”

Educational Q&A
Dharma is expressed through refined conduct: one should reciprocate honor received and inquire after the welfare of others in a way that includes their children and dependents, recognizing responsibility for the whole household.
After being respectfully worshiped/received, a brahmin (as narrated by Markandeya) returns the courtesy and then asks the two people before him whether everything is well at home, specifically mentioning their sons and attendants.
