Gṛhastha-Vrata

अतिथि: पूजितो यद्धि ध्यायते मनसा शुभम्‌ | न तत्‌ क्रतुशतेनापि तुल्यमाहुर्मनीषिण:

Translation

Sabi ng mga pantas: kapag ang isang atithi (panauhin) na pinarangalan at iginagalang ay nagmuni-muni sa loob ng puso para sa kabutihan ng maybahay, ang bungang makakamit ay hindi maihahambing kahit sa sandaang yajña—higit pa ito sa sandaang handog.
