<div class="heading">It is the duty of a householder to feed first of all the children, the old members of the family, the brāhmaṇas and the invalids.

He is required to call for such a hungry man thrice on the road. The neglect of this prescribed duty of a householder, especially in the matter of the old men and children, is unpardonable.
