Apaddharma Determination: Dialogue of Viśvāmitra and the Śvapaca
सत्कृतो<हं त्वया मित्र सामर्थ्यादात्मन: सखे | स मां मित्रत्वमापन्नमुपभोक्तुं त्वमहसि
satkṛto ’haṃ tvayā mitra sāmarthyād ātmanaḥ sakhe | sa māṃ mitratvam āpannam upabhoktuṃ tvam arhasi ||
হে সখা, হে বন্ধু! তুমি তোমার সামর্থ্য অনুযায়ী আমাকে পূর্ণ সম্মান দিয়েছ। আমিও তোমার সঙ্গে বন্ধুত্বে আবদ্ধ হয়েছি; অতএব আমার সঙ্গে থেকে এই বন্ধুত্বের সুখ ভোগ করা তোমারই উচিত।

Educational Q&A
Honor offered within one’s means establishes a moral bond; friendship entails reciprocity and shared well-being, so one should accept and sustain the relationship rather than treat hospitality as a one-sided act.
Bhishma acknowledges the respectful reception given by the other person according to their capacity and declares that he has accepted them as a friend, inviting them to stay and enjoy the fruits of that friendship.
