आसन च पुरस्कृत्य रत्नानि विविधानि च । शिरसा चार्घ्यमादाय गुरुपुत्रं समभ्यगात्,भीष्मजी कहते हैं--भारत! तदनन्तर मन्त्रियोंसहित राजा जनक अन्तःपुरकी सम्पूर्ण स्त्रियों और पुरोहितको आगे करके आसन तथा नाना प्रकारके रत्नोंकी भेंट लिये मस्तकपर अर्घ्यपात्र रखकर गुरुपुत्र शुकदेवजीके पास आये
āsanaṃ ca puraskṛtya ratnāni vividhāni ca | śirasā cārghyam ādāya guruputraṃ samabhyagāt |
毗湿摩说道：“噢，婆罗多！其后，阇那迦王偕同群臣，并令内宫诸女与家祭司在前引导，前往师子之处。王携尊座与种种珍宝礼物，又将阿尔伽供水之器顶于头上，恭敬趋近。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic etiquette: honoring a worthy person—especially one connected to a teacher—through humility, proper reception (āsana), and respectful offerings (arghya, gifts). Royal power is shown as subordinate to learning and spiritual authority.
After a prior development, King Janaka comes with his entourage to meet the guru’s son, bringing a seat of honor, jewels, and an arghya-vessel carried on his head, signaling formal reverence and readiness to receive instruction or offer respect.
