Gṛhastha-Vrata
Devanagari script
अतिथि: पूजितो यद्धि ध्यायते मनसा शुभम् | न तत् क्रतुशतेनापि तुल्यमाहुर्मनीषिण:
Translation
Les sages l’affirment : si l’atithi, après avoir été honoré et reçu avec vénération, forme en son cœur une pensée propice pour le bien du maître de maison, le fruit qui en résulte n’est comparable à aucun, pas même à cent sacrifices ; il surpasse cent yajñas.
