upasa`nkamitvaa bhagavanta.m abhivaadetvaa ekamanta.m nisiidi.
having approached / Blessed One / having bowed down / on one side / sat
and upon arrival, paid respect to the Blessed One and sat on one side.

abhivaadeti (v) salutes, bows down.

abhivaadeti is given the meanings: salutes bows down, paid respect.
However, the abhivaadeti comes from vadati--to say speak.

It is not at all clear how the above is derived.
