Must be indeed sow seed in his field, who eats what remains after feeding
the guests? The gods will look after the affairs of the man who feeds his guest before
sitting down himself to cat. Hospitality is itself seed enough for his fields and the
crops will rise.
"What have we gained spending
all our lives in toil and care.? Nothing avails now. There is nothing to lean upon."
Thus on their last day will lament those who have failed to perform the sacrifice of
hospitality and look after those who came for help Hospitality is equivalent to a
religious sacrifice. |
