अष्टांगप्रणिपातेन तं प्रणम्य रघूत्तमः । परिष्यक्तो दृढं तेन सानन्देन महात्मना
aṣṭāṃgapraṇipātena taṃ praṇamya raghūttamaḥ | pariṣyakto dṛḍhaṃ tena sānandena mahātmanā
رَگھوتم نے آٹھ اعضاء کے سجدے سے اُن کو پرنام کیا؛ اور خوشی سے بھرے اُس مہاتما مُنی نے اُنہیں مضبوطی سے گلے لگا لیا۔

Type: kshetra
Scene: Rāma performs aṣṭāṅga-pranipāta before Agastya; the sage lifts and embraces him firmly, eyes bright with joy; hermitage fire and ritual vessels nearby.
Humility (praṇipāta) before the wise invites grace, affection, and spiritual uplift.
The tīrtha is the sage’s āśrama-region, made sacred by the presence and blessings of a mahātma.
Aṣṭāṅga-praṇipāta (prostration with eight limbs) as proper reverential conduct.
