Translation
婆罗门说道：“待到黎明，你便可继续前行，身心安定，已得舒适歇息。因为尊贵的太阳如今正向西沉落——其光已柔和，且已俯向下方。故请今夜与我同住；安然休憩，使疲惫尽消，明晨再往你所愿之处。”

The verse highlights practical dharma: a host urges a traveler to rest when night falls, emphasizing care, hospitality, and acting according to proper time rather than forcing a journey in darkness.
A brāhmaṇa addresses a traveler respectfully, noting that the Sun is setting and its rays have softened; he invites the guest to stay the night, recover from fatigue, and depart safely at dawn.
