Verse 31

²⁹He whom Visnu had given offered worship to that guest who had come, bowing his head to him. Then the women and the children, who did not know, turned away; and he, being honoured, sat down on the high seat. ³⁰Great among the great, ringed about there by companies of the sages of Brahman and royal sages and sages among the gods, the revered one shone out fully, as the moon does ringed about by planets and constellations and crowds of stars. ³¹The king, one of the Lord's own, came up to that sage who sat there at peace and whose understanding was never blunted; bowing his head, attentive, with his hands folded, he bent low and asked him in kind and truthful words.
