Sanskrit Original
अतिथीनागतान् देवान् दैत्यान् नागांस्तथा द्विजान्। यक्षान् सुपर्णान् कालेयान् गन्धर्वाप्सरसस्तथा॥ महाभागानमितधीब्रह्मा लोकपितामहः। दयावान् सर्वभूतेषु यथार्ह प्रतिपद्यते॥ प्रतिगृह्य तु विश्वात्मा सवयम्भूरमितद्युतिः। सान्त्वमानार्थसम्भोगैर्युनक्ति मनुजाधिप॥
O king of men, the immeasurably intelligent Brahma, the Grandsire of all created things, the self-reacted Supreme Deity of immeasurable effulgence, is ever kind equally on all creatures, honours each as each deserves and gratifies with sweet speech gifts of wealth and other enjoyable things all those Devas, Daityas, the Nagas, the Yakshas, the Brahmanas, the birds, the Kaleyas, the Gandharvas, the Apsaras and all other illustrious beings that come to him as his guests.
