The celestials are always supported by food that householders offer. They bless such houses in which offerings are made to them. The Yakshas and Rakshasas and Pannagas, as also guests and all houseless persons, are supported by the food offered by householders.
गृह्णन्ति देवता नित्यमाशंसन्ति सदा गृहान्। बाह्याश्चागन्तवो येऽन्ये यक्षराक्षसपन्नगा:॥
