Gārhasthya-dharma: Vāsudeva–Pṛthivī-saṃvāda
Householder Duties and Daily Offerings
कुत्तों, चाण्डालों और पक्षियोंके लिये भूमिपर अन्न रख देना चाहिये। यह वैश्वदेव नामक कर्म है। इसका सायंकाल और प्रात:काल अनुष्ठान किया जाता है ।।
vayudeva uvāca | kuttebhyaś caṇḍālebhyaś ca pakṣibhyaś ca bhūmau annaṁ nidhātavyaṁ | etad vaiśvadeva-nāma karma | asya sāyaṁkālaṁ prātaḥkālaṁ cānuṣṭhānaṁ kriyate || etāṁs tu dharmān gārhasthyān yaḥ kuryād anasūyakaḥ | sa iha ṛṣivarān prāpya pretya loke mahīyate ||
风神（Vāyu）说道：“当把食物置于地上，施与犬类、施与贱民、亦施与群鸟。此乃名为‘毗湿婆提婆供’（Vaiśvadeva）之仪，当于黄昏行之，复于清晨再行。凡能舍弃挑剔与嫉妒，奉行这些家住之法者，今生便得大圣仙之祝福；身后亦在福德诸界受人尊崇。”

Educational Q&A
A householder should practice daily generosity and inclusivity—offering food even to beings and persons commonly neglected—through the Vaiśvadeva observance, and should do so without fault-finding (anasūyā). Such conduct yields blessings in this life and honor in meritorious realms after death.
Vāyudeva instructs on gṛhastha duties, defining a specific daily rite (Vaiśvadeva) and its timing (morning and evening), then states the spiritual and social fruits for one who performs these household dharmas with a non-censorious attitude.
