सोऽवतीर्य रथात्तूर्णमभिवाद्य जनार्दनः । यथावत्तानृषीन्सर्वानभ्यभाषत पूजयन्॥५-८१-६१॥

Janārdana swiftly descended from the chariot, saluted them, and, honoring them, addressed all those ṛṣis in proper form.

“Is there well-being in the worlds? Is dharma being duly practiced? And do the three varṇas, under the guidance of the brāhmaṇas, remain within discipline and rightful governance?”

Having rendered them that honor, Madhusūdana said: “Venerable ones, from where have you come, and what is your course here?”
