evaṃ putra ! gṛhasthena devatāḥ pitarastathā /
saṃpūjyā havyakavyābhyāmannenātithibāndhavāḥ //

Madālasā spoke:
“Thus, my son, should the gods and pitṛs be worshipped by a householder with the oblations to the gods and the oblations to the pitṛs; and with food should guests and kinsmen, living creatures, all dependants, cattle, birds and ants, beggars and other petitioners be worshipped by the dweller in a house, who observes the good customs and performs the domestic sacrifices, my child. He incurs sin if he neglects the periodic ceremonies.”
