FAQs

What blessing is described in this verse?

It describes a boon of auspiciousness across lifetimes: virtue, children, wealth and prosperity, and abundant hospitality (providing plentiful food).

Why is providing food (bhojinī) emphasized?

Hospitality and feeding others are classic dharmic virtues; the verse treats generosity and nourishment as signs of merit and prosperity.

What is the ethical lesson implied by the verse?

A life rooted in virtue (sādhvī), responsible household prosperity (dhana-ṛddhi), and generosity (sahasra-bhojinī) is portrayed as meritorious enough to recur as a blessing across births.
