The Mahabharata states that a grhastha should purify his mind by performing the Panchamahayajnas. A grhastha who always speaks the truth, who does not see fault in others, gives dana, honours brahmanas, who keeps his house spic and span, gives up his pride, is always straightforward, speaks lovingly, puts his mind in serving guests and visitors, partakes the food of yajnas and offers as per shastras padya, arghya, seat, cot, light and place to stay for a guest - Such a grhastha is considered righteous.<ref name=":12" />
