اسے برہمنوں کے ساتھ، ترتیب وار پاٹھ کرتے ہوئے آتے دیکھ کر، برہمن نے آنے والے کو آداب کیا؛ اور مہمان کا مناسب خیرمقدم کر کے اس کی تکریم کی گئی۔
Narrator (Purāṇic voice)
Tirtha: Revā-tīra āśrama (atithi-dharma locus)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A dvija-guest arrives; brāhmaṇa host rises, folds hands, offers arghya/pādya; other brāhmaṇas nearby continue Vedic recitation in orderly cadence; sacred fire and river visible.
Honoring guests (atithi) and revering sacred recitation are core expressions of dharma.
The Revā (Narmadā) sacred landscape is the backdrop, highlighting hermitages along the river corridor.
The verse implies atithi-pūjā (welcoming and honoring a guest), a standard dharmic observance.
