Jarītā-Śārṅgaka-saṃvādaḥ — The Dialogue of Jaritā and the Śārṅgaka Chicks
Fire-escape deliberation
उपसूष्टं तु तं कृष्णौ भ्राजमानं द्विजोत्तमम् । अर्जुनो वासुदेवश्च तूर्णमुत्पत्य तस्थतु:,वे तेजस्वी द्विजश्रेष्ठ जब निकट आ गये, तब अर्जुन और भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण तुरंत ही आसनसे उठकर खड़े हो गये
upasūṣṭaṃ tu taṃ kṛṣṇau bhrājamānaṃ dvijottamam | arjuno vāsudevaś ca tūṛṇam utpatya tasthatuḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说:当那位光辉灿然的婆罗门上首、最胜之二生者走近,并依礼通报之时,阿周那与婆苏提婆(奎师那)立刻从座上起身而立,以示敬礼。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights dharmic conduct: honoring a worthy Brahmin/guest by rising promptly. Respect shown through bodily action (standing up) is presented as an ethical norm for the noble, reinforcing humility and reverence toward spiritual merit.
A radiant eminent Brahmin approaches and is formally announced. Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa immediately rise from their seats and stand, signaling respectful reception and readiness to serve or listen.
