iha me bhagavān somo vidhattām annam uttamam | bhakṣyaṃ bhojyaṃ ca coṣyaṃ ca lehyaṃ ca vividhaṃ bahu ||
इह मे भगवान् सोमोऽन्नमुत्तमं विधत्ताम्—भक्ष्यं भोज्यं च चोष्यं च लेह्यं च विविधं बहु।
Let the blessed Moon furnish me with excellent food of every kind -- solid, liquid, soft and those which are to be sucked and licked in great variety and quantity.
Responsible care for guests: dharma includes ensuring nourishment suited to different needs, reflecting thoughtful, comprehensive hospitality.
Bharadvāja continues his invocation, requesting Soma to supply abundant, high-quality provisions for Bharata’s visiting party.
Practical compassion—hospitality is made concrete through food and sustenance, not merely words of welcome.
