ततः पप्रच्छ सा देवी प्रणम्य मुनिमानता । सर्वेषां च हितार्थाय स्वसंदेहापनुत्तये
tataḥ papraccha sā devī praṇamya munimānatā | sarveṣāṃ ca hitārthāya svasaṃdehāpanuttaye
Bấy giờ phu nhân cao quý ấy, cúi lạy vị hiền thánh với lòng tôn kính, rồi thưa hỏi vì lợi lạc cho mọi người và để trừ nghi nơi chính mình.
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.
