kuṭumbinā bhojanīyaḥ samarthe vibhave sati /
śrīmantaṃ jñātimāsādya yo jñātiravasīdati //
“If a man consumed with hunger, or another who is destitute wants food, he should be fed by a householder who has adequate[10] substance. Whatever kinsman is dispirited when he reaches a prosperous kinsman, the latter gets the sin that has been done by the dispirited man. And the precept must be observed at evening, and he should do reverence to the guest who has arrived there after sunset, accordingly to his ability, with a bed, a seat and food.
