Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
यूयं हि भाविता यज्ञै: सर्वयज्ञेषु मानवै:
yūyaṃ hi bhāvitā yajñaiḥ sarvayajñeṣu mānavaiḥ
वैशम्पायन बोले— वास्तव में तुम सब प्रकार के यज्ञों में मनुष्यों द्वारा यज्ञों के माध्यम से पोषित और संस्कारित किए गए हो।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse affirms that participation in yajña (sacrificial duty) is a formative discipline: it ‘cultivates’ people by training them in obligation, generosity, and reverence for dharma, rather than mere self-interest.
Vaiśampāyana, continuing his narration in the Śānti discourse, characterizes the addressed group as having been shaped by sacrificial practice—highlighting their background in Vedic rites as a moral and cultural foundation for the teaching being conveyed.
