tataḥ prabhātasamaye so ’tithis tena pūjitaḥ | brāhmaṇena yathāśaktyā svakāryam abhikāṅkṣatā ||

Translation

Rồi đến rạng đông, vị khách ấy—được vị Bà-la-môn kính đãi hết sức mình—liền lên đường. Còn vị Bà-la-môn, vốn chú tâm vào việc thành tựu mục đích riêng, lại tiếp tục tìm cho được sự hoàn thành công việc của mình.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

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.

What is happening in the narrative?

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.
