Pagdating ng bukang-liwayway, ang panauhing iyon—matapos parangalan ng brahmana ayon sa abot ng kanyang makakaya—ay umalis. At ang brahmanang iyon, na nakatuon sa pagtupad ng sarili niyang layon, ay nagpatuloy sa paghahangad na maganap ang kanyang gawain.

Educational Q&A

One should honor a guest according to one’s means (yathāśaktyā), even while pursuing personal objectives; dharma is upheld through respectful hospitality and proper conduct.

At dawn, the guest who has been duly honored departs; the brāhmaṇa, focused on achieving his intended purpose, continues toward the completion of his own task after fulfilling the duty of receiving the guest.
