ततः प्रभातसमये सो$तिथिस्तेन पूजित: । ब्राह्मणेन यथाशकक्त्या स्वकार्यमभिकाड्क्षता,फिर सबेरा होनेपर अपने कार्यकी सिद्धि चाहने-वाले उस ब्राह्मणद्वारा यथाशक्ति सम्मानित हो वह अतिथि चला गया
tataḥ prabhātasamaye so ’tithis tena pūjitaḥ | brāhmaṇena yathāśaktyā svakāryam abhikāṅkṣatā ||
پھر صبح کے وقت، اپنے کام کی تکمیل کا خواہاں وہ برہمن اپنی بساط کے مطابق اس مہمان کی تعظیم و تکریم کرتا رہا؛ اور وہ مہمان عزت پाकर وہاں سے روانہ ہو گیا۔
भीष्म उवाच
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.
