FAQs

Ritual merit is joined with humility: one gives generously first, then eats only after receiving the blessings and consent of the worthy.

No tīrtha is stated; the verse concerns concluding gifts and etiquette.

Give dakṣiṇā (cows, gold, garments, etc.), then eat with family only after receiving the officiants’ permission.
