Gārhasthya-dharma: Vāsudeva–Pṛthivī-saṃvāda
Householder Duties and Daily Offerings
महाराज! इसके बाद विशेष अन्तके द्वारा अतिथियोंको भी सम्मानपूर्वक भोजन करावे। ऐसा करनेसे गृहस्थ पुरुष सम्पूर्ण मनुष्योंको संतुष्ट करता है ।।
mahārāja! tataḥ paraṁ viśeṣāntakena atithīn api satkṛtya bhojayet. evaṁ kṛte gṛhasthaḥ puruṣaḥ sarvān manuṣyān saṁtoṣayati. gṛhastha-dharma-sambandhe śrīkṛṣṇasya pṛthivyā saha saṁvādaḥ— anityaṁ hi sthito yasmāt tasmād atithir ucyate. ācāryasya pituś caiva sakhy-upāptasya cātitheḥ, sadā nivedayet— ‘amukaṁ vastu me gṛhe vidyate; tad bhavān gṛhṇātu.’ tataḥ yathā te ājñāpayeyuḥ tathāiva kuryāt. evaṁ kṛte dharmasya pālanaṁ bhavati.
大王よ、そののち格別の心配りをもって、客人にも敬意を尽くし、恭しく食を施すべきである。そうしてこそ家住の者はあらゆる人々を満足させる。家住の法について—聖なるクリシュナが大地と語り合った教えにおいて—「客（アティティ atithi）」とは、家に常住しない者ゆえにそう呼ばれる。ゆえに師（ācārya）、父、信頼すべき友の来訪者、そして客に対して、常に「これこれの品が我が家にございます。どうぞお受け取りください」と申し述べよ。さらに彼らの命ずるところに従ってそのまま行え。かくしてダルマは保たれる。

Educational Q&A
A householder upholds dharma by honoring and feeding guests and respected persons (teacher, father, trusted friend) with sincere offerings, and by acting according to their wishes; hospitality is framed as a central social-ethical duty.
Vāyudeva instructs the king on householder conduct, citing a teaching presented as a dialogue of Śrī Kṛṣṇa with the Earth: a guest is defined as one who does not stay permanently, and the host should invite such persons to accept what is available and then comply with their directions.
