Durga Saptashati — Chapter 1, Verse 11

Madhu-Kaitabha Vadha

तस्थौ कंचित्स कालं च मुनिना तेन सत्कृतः । इतश्चेतश्च विचरंस्तस्मिन्मुनिवराश्रमे ॥ ११ ॥

tasthau kaṁchitsa kālaṁ cha muninā tena satkṛitaḥ itaśhchetaśhcha vicharaṁstasminmunivarāśhrame

Translation

Honoured by the sage, he stayed there for some time, wandering here and there about that great sage's hermitage.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

मुनि ने उनका सत्कार किया, और वे उन मुनिश्रेष्ठ के आश्रम में इधर-उधर विचरते हुए कुछ समय तक रहे।

Commentary

Suratha is welcomed but does not yet ask for anything. He simply stays and drifts. The body has reached the hermitage; the mind, as the next verse shows, is still at home.
