Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha
Devanagari script
इत्युक्त्वा तानुपादाय सक्तून् प्रादाद् द्विजातये । ततस्तुष्टो5भवद् विप्रस्तस्य साधोर्महात्मन:,ऐसा कहकर ब्राह्मणने उसके हिस्सेका भी सत्तू लेकर अतिथिको दे दिया। इससे वह ब्राह्मण उन उज्छवृत्तिधारी साधु महात्मापर बहुत संतुष्ट हुआ
Transliteration
ity uktvā tān upādāya saktūn prādād dvijātaye | tataḥ tuṣṭo 'bhavad vipras tasya sādhur mahātmanaḥ ||
Translation
Having spoken thus, he took those parched-grain flour portions (saktū) and gave them to the twice-born guest. Thereupon the Brahmin became pleased—deeply satisfied with that virtuous, great-souled man—highlighting the ethic that hospitality and selfless giving, even from one’s own scant share, is a mark of dharma.
