ततः पप्रच्छ सा देवी प्रणम्य मुनिमानता । सर्वेषां च हितार्थाय स्वसंदेहापनुत्तये
tataḥ papraccha sā devī praṇamya munimānatā | sarveṣāṃ ca hitārthāya svasaṃdehāpanuttaye
پھر وہ نیک بانو، ادب کے ساتھ منی کو پرنام کر کے، سب کی بھلائی کے لیے اور اپنے شک کو دور کرنے کے لیے سوال کرنے لگی۔
Narrator
Scene: Lopāmudrā bows at Agastya’s feet or with añjali, her face earnest; Agastya sits composed, ready to teach; the scene emphasizes humility and public-spirited intent.
True inquiry is humble and aims at universal benefit; removing doubt is itself a dharmic act.
No site is named here; it prepares for the question about Śrīśaila and Kāśī.
None; the act emphasized is praṇāma (bowing) and respectful questioning.
