ततस्तानभिसंप्रेक्ष्य नारदप्रमुखानृषीन् । अभ्यभाषत दाशार्हो भीष्मं शांतनवं शनैः॥५-९२-४१॥

Then, having looked upon those sages headed by Nārada, the Dāśārha quietly addressed Bhīṣma, the son of Śāṃtanu.

“O king, the sages have come to behold this assembly of rulers. Let them be invited, and honored with seats and with abundant courtesies.”

So long as these sages have not been seated, it is not proper for anyone to sit. Let honor and hospitality be promptly offered to the self-disciplined munis.
