Rājadharma
Devanagari script
तेषु सत्कारमानाभ्यां संविभागांश्व कारयेत् । परराष्ट्राटवीस्थेषु यथा स्वविषये तथा,उन सबको सत्कार और सम्मानके साथ आवश्यक वस्तुएँ प्रदान करे। जैसे अपने राज्यके तपस्वीका आदर करे, वैसे ही दूसरे राज्यों तथा जंगलोंमें रहनेवाले तापसोंका भी सम्मान करना चाहिये
Translation
Bhishma said: “They should be received with due honor and respect, and supplied with what is necessary. As one reveres the ascetics within one’s own realm, so too should one revere those dwelling in other kingdoms and in the forests.”
