Educational Q&A

Dharma in governance and social conduct includes not only offering hospitality but ensuring it is properly carried out—honoring guests appropriately and personally verifying their comfort and arrangements.

A leading figure (prabhu) tells the visitors that lodging has been arranged, receives them with due honor, visits their respective houses to see to their settlement, and then returns along with them.
