The Brahmana is a great being. When he comes into one's house and solicits, saying, Give me!the owner of the house, whether actuated or not by the desire of gaining merit, is sure to win great merit by listening to that prayer.
ब्राह्मणो हि महद्भूतं स्वयं देहीति याचति। अकायो वा सकामो वा दत्त्वा पुण्यमवाप्नुयात्॥
