Yājñavalkya uvāca: evam uktvā samprayāto divaṁ sa vibhrājan vai śrīmatā darśanena | dṛṣṭas taṁ tuṣṭyā parayābhinandya pradakṣiṇaṁ mama kṛtvā mahātmā ||

阎若婆迦(Yājñavalkya)说道:“说完这些,那位大心者便升往天界,因其吉祥的现身而光辉灿然。我见到他,也满怀深切的欢悦与满足,恭敬致礼;他绕我行右旋礼后,遂继续前行。”

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores dharmic etiquette: honoring the worthy through reverent greeting and pradakṣiṇā. It presents respect for spiritual or noble persons as an ethical act that reflects inner purity and right conduct.

After speaking, the radiant celestial figure (identified in the context as the Gandharva king Viśvāvasu) respectfully circumambulates Yājñavalkya, receives/returns honor, and departs to heaven; Yājñavalkya watches him with deep satisfaction.
