Nahūṣa as Ajagara: Virtue Hierarchy, Karmic Gati, and the Psychology of Mind–Intellect
श्रुत्वा च तान् पार्थिवपुत्रपौत्रान् प्राप्तान् सुबाहुर्विषये समग्रान् प्रत्युद्ययौ प्रीतियुत: स राजा त॑ चाभ्यनन्दन् वृषभा: कुरूणाम्,राजा सुबाहुने जब सुना कि मेरे राज्यमें राजपुत्र पाण्डवगण पधारे हुए हैं, तब बहुत प्रसन्न होकर नगरसे बाहर आ उसने उन सबकी अगवानी की। फिर कुरुश्रेष्ठ युधिष्ठिर आदिने भी उनका बड़ा समादर किया
śrutvā ca tān pārthiva-putra-pautrān prāptān subāhor viṣaye samagrān pratyudyayau prīti-yutaḥ sa rājā tāṁś cābhyānandan vṛṣabhāḥ kurūṇām
毗舍婆耶那曰：苏婆呼王闻知诸王之子孙——般度五子（Pāṇḍava）——已悉数抵达其境，心怀欢悦，遂出城迎接。库鲁族之雄，尤以坚战（Yudhiṣṭhira）为首者，也以应有的礼敬回迎并尊崇其王。此段彰显正法之礼：宾主相待，君君臣臣，互敬有度。

The verse underscores atithi-dharma (the duty of hospitality) and rājadhrama (kingly conduct): a righteous ruler welcomes worthy guests with joy, and the guests reciprocate with honor and courtesy, strengthening social and political harmony.
Subāhu hears that the Pāṇḍavas have entered his territory, so he comes out of the city to receive them warmly; Yudhiṣṭhira and the other Kuru leaders then return the greeting and show him due respect.
