Brāhmaṇa-pūjā, Haviḥ-dāna, and the Vāsudeva–Pṛthivī Saṃvāda
Chapter 34
ये सर्वातिथयो नित्यं गोषु च ब्राह्मणेषु च । नित्यं सत्ये चाभिरता दुर्गाण्यतितरन्ति ते,जो सबका अतिथि सत्कार करते तथा गौ-ब्राह्मण और सत्यपर प्रेम रखते हैं वे बड़े- बड़े संकटसे पार हो जाते हैं
ye sarvātithayo nityaṁ goṣu ca brāhmaṇeṣu ca | nityaṁ satye cābhiratā durgāṇy atitaranti te ||
Narada berkata: Mereka yang senantiasa memuliakan setiap tamu, yang selalu menunjukkan bakti dan pemeliharaan kepada sapi serta para brahmana, dan yang teguh berpegang pada kebenaran—mereka menyeberangi bahkan bahaya dan krisis yang besar.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that steadfast ethical conduct—especially universal hospitality, reverence toward cows and Brahmins, and devotion to truth—creates the moral strength and merit by which one overcomes severe dangers.
Nārada is instructing his listener within the Anuśāsana Parva’s dharma-discourse, stating a general principle: those who consistently practice these duties are able to pass through great संकट (durgāṇi) successfully.
