Devanagari script
तस्मात् त्वं सर्वयत्नेन यतस्वातिथिभोजने । पादोदकं पादघृतं दीपमन्न॑ प्रतिश्रयम्
Transliteration
tasmāt tvaṁ sarvayatnena yatasvātithibhojane | pādodakaṁ pādaghṛtaṁ dīpam annaṁ pratiśrayam |
Translation
അതുകൊണ്ട് നീ എല്ലാ ശ്രമത്തോടെയും അതിഥികളെ ആദരിച്ച് ഭോജനം നൽകുക. പാദപ്രക്ഷാളനത്തിന് ജലം, പാദങ്ങളിൽ പുരട്ടാൻ ഘൃതം/ഉപലേപം, ദീപം, അന്നം, യോജ്യമായ ആശ്രയം—ഇവ ധർമ്മത്തിന്റെ മര്യാദകളാണ്.
