Chapter 2: Sudarśana Upākhyāna — Atithi-Dharma and the Conquest of Mṛtyu
Gṛhastha-Vrata
Devanagari script
अतिथि: पूजितो यद्धि ध्यायते मनसा शुभम् | न तत् क्रतुशतेनापि तुल्यमाहुर्मनीषिण:
Translation
Bila seorang atithi dihormati dan dipuja sebagaimana mestinya, lalu ia dalam batinnya mendoakan kebaikan bagi sang grihastha, maka buah kebajikan yang lahir darinya tidak dapat disamakan bahkan dengan seratus yajña—ia lebih luhur daripada seratus yajña. Demikianlah ujar para bijak.
