Cyavana’s Yogic Display and Kuśika’s Recognition of Tapas (च्यवन-योगप्रभावः कुशिकस्य तपःप्रशंसा च)
अर्चयामास तं चापि तस्य राज्ञ: पुरोहित: । सत्यव्रतं महात्मानं देवकल्पं विशाम्पते,प्रजानाथ! राजाके पुरोहितने देवताओंके समान तेजस्वी सत्यव्रती महात्मा च्यवनमुनिका विधिपूर्वक पूजन किया
arcayāmāsa taṃ cāpi tasya rājñaḥ purohitaḥ | satyavrataṃ mahātmānaṃ devakalpaṃ viśāmpate prajānātha |
毗湿摩说道：国王的家祭亦依仪轨为他行供养——供养那位大德遮婆那仙人：持守真实誓戒（satya-vrata），光辉如天神者，人民之主啊。此段强调对灵性操守的敬重，以及君王应当礼敬并尊崇安住于真理与法（Dharma）之人的职责。

Bhīṣma narrates that the king’s priest performed a proper ritual worship of a great sage—described as truth-vowed and godlike—signaling formal respect and recognition of the sage’s spiritual stature.
