He who prepares food for himself (alone), eats nothing but sin; for it is ordained that the food which remains after (the performance of) the sacrifices shall be the meal of virtuous men.
राजर्त्विग्स्नातकगुरून् प्रियश्वशुरमातुलान् । अर्हयेन् मधुपर्केण परिसंवत्सरात् पुनः ॥ ११९ ॥
Let him honour with the honey-mixture a king, an officiating priest, a Snataka, the teacher, a son-in-law, a father-in-law, and a maternal uncle, (if they come) again after a full year (has elapsed since their last visit).
राजा च श्रोत्रियश्चैव यज्ञकर्मण्युपस्थितौ । मधुपर्केण सम्पूज्यौ न त्वयज्ञ इति स्थितिः ॥ १२० ॥
A king and a Srotriya, who come on the performance of a sacrifice, must be honoured with the honeymixture, but not if no sacrifice is being performed; that is a settled rule.
