Shloka 21
अहन्यहनि चाप्येवं याचतां सम्प्रदीयते । अन्ये च ब्राह्मणा राजन् भुज्जतेऊन्नं सुसंस्कृतम्,याचकोंको प्रतिदिन इसी प्रकार भोजन और दान दिया जाता था। राजन! अन्यान्य ब्राह्मण भी वहाँ उत्तम रीतिसे तैयारकी हुई रसोई जीमते थे
ahany ahani cāpy evaṁ yācatāṁ sampradīyate | anye ca brāhmaṇā rājan bhuñjate annaṁ susaṁskṛtam ||
Wika ni Śamaṭha: “Araw-araw, sa gayunding paraan, ang pagkain at mga kaloob ay ibinibigay sa mga dumarating na humihingi. At, O hari, ang iba pang mga brāhmaṇa ay nakikikain din doon ng pagkaing maayos na inihanda at niluto nang wasto.”

Educational Q&A
That dharma is sustained through consistent, everyday generosity—regular giving to supplicants and respectful feeding of brāhmaṇas, emphasizing charity and hospitality as ongoing obligations rather than occasional virtues.
The speaker describes a setting where, each day, beggars receive food and gifts, and other brāhmaṇas dine on well-cooked meals—portraying an orderly, dharmic household or establishment marked by continual distribution and communal feeding.
