O walang dungis, naging maginhawa ba ang iyong gabi rito sa aming āśrama? Ibalita mo rin sa akin: ang lahat ba ng iyong mga tao’y napangalagaan nang wasto sa pagtanggap at pag-aasikaso sa panauhin?
O sinless one! hope, you spent the night at our hermitage well? Tell me whether all your people enjoyed the hospitality?
Atithi-dharma (duty of hospitality): caring for guests and their companions is a sacred obligation, especially in a hermitage setting.
After hosting Bharata and his retinue, Bharadvāja inquires whether they rested well and were suitably received.
Compassionate responsibility: Bharadvāja exemplifies the sage’s duty to protect and honor guests without negligence.
