स्वागतासनसत्कारेणामुना तेऽति सत्कृताः । यथोचितं प्रतीतास्तमाहुः कार्यं हृदि स्थितम्
svāgatāsanasatkāreṇāmunā te'ti satkṛtāḥ | yathocitaṃ pratītāstamāhuḥ kāryaṃ hṛdi sthitam
اس نے استقبال، نشست اور مناسب مہمان نوازی کے ذریعے ان کی نہایت تعظیم کی۔ وہ دل سے مطمئن ہوئے اور جو بات ان کے دل میں تھی وہ اسے عرض کر دی۔
Narrator (contextual; Māheśvara-khaṇḍa discourse)
Scene: A host respectfully welcomes arriving sages/guests: offering water, a seat, and courteous gestures; the guests, serene and satisfied, prepare to speak their heart’s purpose.
Atithi-dharma—proper honoring of guests—creates harmony and becomes the doorway for righteous counsel.
No tīrtha is directly praised in this verse; it focuses on dharmic hospitality within the narrative.
Hospitality practices—svāgata (welcome), āsana (offering a seat), and satkāra (respectful service)—are implied as dharma.
