Hospitality
81. A householder should utilise all that he has saved and kept in his abode, only for providing hospitality to chance guests (wayfarers).
82. Let it be the elixir of life – to eat that, alone, keeping the guest without, is not meet
83. By providing food with cheer to a way-farer, who has come to one’s house, poverty will be held at bay; nay, wealth will grow more and more.
84. In the home of a person, who welcomes a good guest lovingly and well. Dame prosperity will joyfully dwell!
85. In the case of a person who first feeds the wayfarer and eats only the remnant, crops will grow and flourish in his field, even without his sowing the seed!
86. The person who after affording cheer to one wayfarer, awaits the arrival of another, will certainly be honoured in the celestial region. 87. Honouring the good is verily a sacrificial rite; its merit is beyond thought and word; corresponding to the worth of the recipient, the merit will vary.
88. To the person whose mind is not inclined towards hospitality, comes a feeling that he has missed a treasure due to him! 89. The delicate forest – flower withers, as soon as it is smelt; likewise, beholding the cheerless look of the host – (householder), the face of the guest will fade.
