Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
श्रीभगवानुवाच लोककार्यगती: सर्वास्त्विं चिन्तय यथाविधि । धाता त्वं सर्वभूतानां त्वं प्रभुर्जगतो गुरु:
śrībhagavān uvāca | lokakāryagatīḥ sarvāstvāṃ cintaya yathāvidhi | dhātā tvaṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ tvaṃ prabhur jagato guruḥ ||
श्रीभगवान् बोले— “हे ब्रह्मन्! लोकों के समस्त कर्मों और उनसे प्राप्त होने वाली गतियों का विधिपूर्वक चिन्तन करो। क्योंकि तुम ही समस्त प्राणियों के धाता हो; तुम ही प्रभु हो और तुम ही इस जगत के गुरु हो।”

Those entrusted with authority must deliberate properly on actions and their consequences for the world; cosmic leadership is defined by responsibility, foresight, and guidance in accordance with right order (vidhi).
The speaker, identified as the Blessed Lord, addresses a revered ‘Brahman’ figure and urges him to reflect, in a rule-governed way, on worldly duties and the destinies that result—affirming his role as ordainer of beings and teacher of the universe.
