Translation
After Dhruva entered Madhuvana Forest to execute devotional service, the great sage Nārada thought it wise to go to the King to see how he was faring within the palace. When Nārada Muni approached, the King received him properly, offering him due obeisances. After being seated comfortably, Nārada began to speak.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
When Dhruva had gone to Tapovana, Nārada entered the inner chambers of the palace. Being suitably worshipped by the King, seated comfortably, he then spoke to the King.
Arhitārhaṇakaḥ means he was offered articles of worship (arhaṇa) like arghya as welcome (arhita).
