ताभ्यामर्थ्य च पाद्यं च दत्त्वा पश्चात् फलानि च। आनुपूर्व्याच्च धर्मज्ञः पप्रच्छ कुशलं कुले॥ अयोध्यायां बले कोशे मित्रेष्वपि च मन्त्रिषु। जानन् दशरथं वृत्तं न राजानमुदाहरत्॥
tābhyāmarthya ca pādyaṃ ca dattvā paścāt phalāni ca| ānupūrvyācca dharmajñaḥ papraccha kuśalaṃ kule|| ayodhyāyāṃ bale kośe mitreṣvapi ca mantriṣu| jānan daśarathaṃ vṛttaṃ na rājānamudāharat||
English Meaning
Having offered them (the guests) water to wash their feet and Arghya, as well as fruits subsequently, that virtuous one (Bharadvāja) successively enquired after the welfare of their (respective) homes; and after that, of the forces, exchequer, friends and counsellors in Ayodhyā. And knowing that Dasaratha had departed this life, he did not ask anything relating to the monarch.
