मनु स्मृति - अतिथि

अप्रणोद्योऽतिथिः सायं सूर्योढो गृहमेधिना |
काले प्राप्तस्त्वकाले वा नास्यानश्नन् गृहे वसेत् ||

- मनु स्मृति

When a guest arrives in the evening, one must insist they spend the night in their house. When a guest arrives during lunch (dinner) time or any odd time, he must be served food.

- Manu Smriti

मनु स्मृति - अतिथि सत्कार

न वै स्वयं तदश्नीयात् अतिथिं यन्न भोजयेत् ।
धन्यं यशस्यमायुष्यं स्वर्ग्यं वातिथिपूजनम् ॥

- मनु स्मृति

One must never eat food before the guest has eaten. Serving the guest will lead to great wealth, fame and one can attain heaven-like happiness.
