Dhritarashtra said Those persons who consider hospitality to guests as a vow, who observe good vows, who give shelter to Brahmanas, and who eat what remains after distribution among his dependants, adorn the region called Mandakini of Kubera. I shall not go there, for a higher region is reserved for me.
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच अतिथिव्रताः सुव्रता ये जना वै प्रतिश्रयं ददति ब्राह्मणेभ्यः। शिष्टाशिनः संविभज्याश्रितांश्च मन्दाकिनी तेऽपि विभूषयन्ति॥
