āmantrito dvijo yastu vartamānaśca sve gṛhe.
niṣkāraṇaṃ na gacchedyaḥ sa dāpyo'ṣṭaśataṃ damam .. 227.8 ..
One who does not feed his neighbour and Brâhmaṇas earns sin instead of virtue and he should be fined also one maṣâ gold but if he omits to invite any sinful Brâhmaṇa he is not guilty. If a Brâhmaṇa be invited to join a feast and when he has come to the house of one who invited him and is made to go back without any food and without any due cause, then the invitor should be fined 108 Damas.—7-8
