siva.sh/chanakya-neeti/15/11

रागतं पथि श्रान्तं वृथा च गृहमागतम् । अनर्चयित्वा यो भुङ्क्ते स वै चाण्डाल उच्यते ॥११॥

sanskrit

That householder is useless who does not show respect to a tired and weary guest who has come suddenly from a distance. A householder who eats dinner without entertaining his guests is like a Chandala.

sanskrit

The moon, which is filled with nectar and is considered the deity of medicines, though it is immortal and resplendent like nectar, but loses its splendor when it goes to the house of the Sun. Will an ordinary man not become inferior by going to another's house?

sanskrit

This Bhramar, when he was among the delicate petals of the lotus, used to remain lazy by drinking the sweet honey of the lotus, but now he gets his food from the flower of an ordinary kutaja because he has come to a new country where the lotus is present. No, he only likes the pollen of Kutaj.
