Hearing what had taken place, king Dhritarashtra became pleased and then, addressing the son of Dharma, said, 'Do you accept from me these gifts of water and roots and fruits! It has been said, O king, that one's guest should take what one takes himself.'
तच्छ्रुत्वा प्रीतिमान् राजा भूत्वा धर्मजमब्रवीत्। आपो मूलं फलं चैव ममेदं प्रतिगृह्यताम्॥ यदर्थो हि नरो राजस्तदर्थोऽस्यातिथिः स्मृतः।
