FAQs
Honoring guests (ātithya) is presented as a foundational dharma that prepares the ground for higher spiritual inquiry.
The verse sets up a discourse that will soon point toward Kāśī/Varanasi through the yogī Saṃvarta, though this line itself names Nāḍījaṅgha.
Proper guest-honoring rites (arhaṇa and ātithya-vidhi) are referenced as the prescribed conduct.
