यद् वा अति॑थिपति॒रति॑थीन् प्रति॒पश्य॑ति देव॒यज॑नं॒ प्रेक्ष॑ते
yád vā atíthipatír atíthīn pratipáśyati devayájanaṃ prékṣaté
When, again, the Master of Guests looks forth upon the guests, he is, in very deed, looking upon the worship of the Gods.
जब मेहमानों का मेन अधिकारी सब मेहमानों को देखता है। तो वो सीधा भगवान की पूजा को देख रहा होता है। क्योंकि मेहमान भगवान जैसा ही होता है।
