Atithi-dharma—proper honoring of guests—creates harmony and becomes the doorway for righteous counsel.

No tīrtha is directly praised in this verse; it focuses on dharmic hospitality within the narrative.

Hospitality practices—svāgata (welcome), āsana (offering a seat), and satkāra (respectful service)—are implied as dharma.
