संप्राप्तानां च पूज्यानां कामादर्थेषु देवल । यथोपपत्तिं कुर्वन्ति शक्तिमन्तः कृतव्रताः ॥
saṃprāptānāṃ ca pūjyānāṃ kāmādartheṣu devala | yathopapattiṃ kurvanti śaktimantaḥ kṛtavratāḥ ||
And when honoured guests arrive, Devala, those who are capable and firm in their vows do for them in material things what they wish, as far as their means allow.
हे देवल, जब आदरणीय लोग आते हैं, तो समर्थ और व्रत में दृढ़ लोग उनकी इच्छा के अनुसार, अपनी सामर्थ्य भर, धन-सामग्री से उनका सत्कार करते हैं।

Calm detachment is not coldness. The same person who is untouched by praise is generous and practical with others, within their means.
शांत वैराग्य रूखापन नहीं है। जो प्रशंसा से अछूता है, वही दूसरों के प्रति उदार और व्यावहारिक भी होता है, अपनी सामर्थ्य के भीतर।
Mahabharata 12.222.11. Jaigishavya: when worthy guests arrive, the wise help them with material things as far as they can.
