待他已食尽其他苦行仙人所施之食后，毗湿瓦密多亦至，携来一份滚烫的饭食，前来侍立供奉。此段情节凸显了克制之考验，以及苦行者之间关于待客与服侍的伦理。
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores ethical discipline in ascetic life: accepting what is given without attachment, and the importance of service and hospitality even under discomfort (here, the ‘excessively hot’ meal functions as a test of restraint and conduct).
Nārada narrates that after the person in question has already eaten food donated by other ascetics, the sage Viśvāmitra arrives as well, bringing very hot household food and presenting himself to serve/attend—setting up a situation that tests proper behavior around receiving and offering food.
