 tam - him; pÅ«jayitvÄ - after worshiping; vidhi-vat - according to the rules and regulations for receiving exalted guests; pratyutthÄna - by standing from the throne; arhaṇa-Ädibhiḥ - offering worship and so on; ká¹›ta-atithyam - who was given hospitality; upÄsÄ«dat - sat down near; sukha-ÄsÄ«nam - who was seated very comfortably; samÄhitaḥ - controlling his mind and senses.


Text

Citraketu immediately stood up from his throne and offered him worship. He offered drinking water and eatables and in this way performed his duty as a host to a great guest. When the ṛṣi was seated very comfortably, the King, restraining his mind and senses, sat on the ground at the side of the ṛṣi’s feet.
