Chapter 29
अन्न च नो बहु भवेदतिथींश्व लभेमहि । श्रद्धा च नो मा व्यगमन्मा च याचिष्म कंचन
anna ca no bahu bhaved atithīṁś ca labhemahi | śraddhā ca no mā vyagaman mā ca yāciṣma kañcana ||
قال فايُو: «ليكن لنا طعامٌ وافر، ولْنُرزَق ضيوفًا كرامًا نستقبلهم. ولْتثبت فينا العقيدة فلا تفارقنا، ولْنَسْلَم من أن نضطر إلى سؤال أحدٍ شيئًا.»

Educational Q&A
The verse upholds a dharmic ideal: prosperity should support hospitality (feeding guests), faith should remain steady, and one should strive for a life of dignity without dependence on begging.
Vāyudeva speaks a benedictive wish or prayer-like statement, expressing the values of sufficient sustenance, the opportunity to honor guests, unwavering śraddhā, and freedom from the humiliation or necessity of supplication.
