tataḥ prabhātasamaye so ’tithis tena pūjitaḥ | brāhmaṇena yathāśaktyā svakāryam abhikāṅkṣatā ||
Then, at daybreak, that guest—having been honored by him to the best of his ability—departed. And the brāhmaṇa, intent on accomplishing his own purpose, continued in seeking the fulfillment of his task.

Educational Q&A
One should honor a guest according to one’s means (yathāśaktyā), even while pursuing personal objectives; dharma is upheld through respectful hospitality and proper conduct.
At dawn, the guest who has been duly honored departs; the brāhmaṇa, focused on achieving his intended purpose, continues toward the completion of his own task after fulfilling the duty of receiving the guest.
