यस्योदकं मधुपर्कं च गां च नमन्त्रवित्प्रतिगृह्णाति गेहे । लोभाद्भयादर्थकार्पण्यतो वा तस्यानर्थं जीवितमाहुरार्याः॥५-३८-३॥

The noble say that a householder’s life is without worth if, in his home, he does not properly receive a worthy guest with water, madhuparka, and a cow—whether from greed, fear, or miserly attachment to wealth.
