Verse 49.15

राघवौ तु तदा तस्याः पादौ जगृहतुर्मुदा। स्मरन्ती गौतमवचः प्रतिजग्राह सा हि तौ॥ पाद्यमर्थ्य तथाऽऽतिथ्यं चकार सुसमाहिता। प्रतिजग्राह काकुत्स्थो विधिदृष्टेन कर्मणा॥

rāghavau tu tadā tasyāḥ pādau jagṛhaturmudā| smarantī gautamavacaḥ pratijagrāha sā hi tau|| pādyamarthya tathā''tithyaṃ cakāra susamāhitā| pratijagrāha kākutstho vidhidṛṣṭena karmaṇā||

English Meaning

The two descendants of Raghu then took hold of her feet; but remembering Gautama's words, she on her part took hold of theirs. And with a collected mind she gave them water for their feet as well as Arghya, and extended to them the rites of hospitality.
