Bấy giờ vua Daśaratha, thấy vị thượng khách thân yêu vừa đến, liền đích thân nghênh tiếp và tôn kính phụng thờ bằng lễ nghi tối thượng, xứng đáng dành cho bậc đáng kính.
King Dasaratha, then accorded a warm welcome to the honoured guest.
Atithi-dharma: receiving a guest with honour is a moral obligation, especially for kings, sustaining trust and social righteousness.
Daśaratha meets an arriving guest and performs formal hospitality with exceptional respect.
Courtesy and generosity: Daśaratha models royal propriety by honouring the guest as ‘pūjārha’ (worthy of reverence).
