lokān apāpān kurvāṇān
sānugo 'caṣṭa lakṣitān
Pṛthu and his followers saw the lords of mystic power descending from the sky, purifying all the people, and recognized them as the Kumāras by their effulgence.
They were known as the Kumāras by their effulgence (arcisā lakṣitān). Acaṣṭa means “he saw.”
|| 4.22.3 ||
tad-darśanodgatān prāṇān
pratyāditsur ivotthitaḥ
sa-sadasyānugo vainya
indriyeśo guṇān iva
Pṛthu, along with the assembly and his followers, rose to his feet, as if eager to regain his life airs which had exited his body on seeing the Kumāras, as eager as the jīva following sense objects.
An analogy is given to illustrate Pṛthu standing up. Pṛthu rose up as if to regain his life airs which had left his body on seeing the effulgence of the Kumāras. Smṛti says:
ūrddhvaṁ prāṇā hy utkrāmanti yunaḥ sthavira agate
praty utthānābhivādābhyāṁ punas tān pratipadyata
When elders approach the life airs of the young move upwards out of the body. By standing up in respect and greeting the elders, the life airs return to the body. Mahābhārata 13.107.32
Thus if one does not rise up when elders approach one’s life span decreases. Pṛthu’s eagerness is shown by an example: the jīva follows after sense objects (guṇān) like smell.
|| 4.22.4 ||
gauravād yantritaḥ sabhyaḥ
praśrayānata-kandharaḥ
vidhivat pūjayāṁ cakre
gṛhītādhyarhaṇāsanān
Under the control of the Kumāras’ greatness, with shoulders lowered in humility, Pṛthu immediately worshipped them according to the scriptures, by offering them items and seats.
|| 4.22.5 ||
tat-pāda-śauca-salilair
mārjitālaka-bandhanaḥ
tatra śīlavatāṁ vṛttam
ācaran mānayann iva
