तृणानि भूमिरुदकं वाक् चतुर्थी च सूनृता ।
एतान्यपि सतां गेहे नोच्छिद्यन्ते कदाचन ॥
tṛṇāni bhūmir udakaṁ vāk caturthī ca sūnṛtā |
etāny api satāṁ gehe nocchidyante kadācana ||
(Manu Smṛti: 3.101)
“[For a guest] Grasses [i.e., bedding], a place [to rest], water, and, fourth [thing], kind words—even these never fail to be found in the house of the virtuous.”
