==आतिथ्यधर्माः ॥ Principles of hospitality==

Some of the Principles of hospitality as enumerated in the Manusmrti are as follows.

Hospitality is one of grhastha's (householder’s) chief duties. It is said that, he must ever feed his guests first, then the Brahmanas and his relatives, and then he and his wife should eat.<ref>Swami Sivananda (1999), [http://www.dlshq.org/download/hinduismbk.pdf All About Hinduism], Uttar Pradesh: The Divine Life Society.</ref> Some of the Principles of hospitality as enumerated in the Manusmrti are as follows.

*The guest brought by the sun in the evening should not be driven away by the house-holder. Arrived in (an appropriate) time, or not, the guest shall not stay in the house without partaking food (enjoying hospitality).<ref name=":13" /><blockquote>अप्रणोद्योऽतिथिः सायं सूर्योढो गृहमेधिना । काले प्राप्तस्त्वकाले वा नास्यानश्नन्गृहे वसेत् । । ३.१०५ । ।<ref name=":02" /></blockquote><blockquote>apraṇodyo'tithiḥ sāyaṁ sūryoḍho gr̥hamedhinā । kāle prāptastvakāle vā nāsyānaśnangr̥he vaset । । 3.105 । ।</blockquote>

*If a guest arrives after the Vaishvadeva offering has been finished, the householder must make food and give him and not from the Bali offering.<ref name=":22" /><blockquote>वैश्वदेवे तु निर्वृत्ते यद्यन्योऽतिथिराव्रजेत् । तस्याप्यन्नं यथाशक्ति प्रदद्यान्न बलिं हरेत् । । ३.१०८ । ।<ref name=":02" /></blockquote><blockquote>vaiśvadeve tu nirvr̥tte yadyanyo'tithirāvrajet । tasyāpyannaṁ yathāśakti pradadyānna baliṁ haret । । 3.108 । ।</blockquote>
