Poor but saintly householders whose houses give worthy reception to devotees with water, grass, earth, husband and family, are fortunate. 

They should offer at least water if food is not available. If water is not available, they should offer grass to sit on. If that is not available, they should clean the earth and offer that as a seat. If that is not available, then they offer themselves, by saying kind words and folding their hands. If they cannot even do that, they should give their sons and wife, who should offer respects on the ground with tears in their eyes.

vyālālaya-drumā vai te’ pi

ariktākhila-sampadaḥ

yad-gṛhās tīrtha-pādīya-

pādatīrtha-vivarjitāḥ

The houses of those who have all wealth but which are devoid of water for washing the feet of Vaiṣṇavas and which give shelter to sharp-tongued wives and sons are like trees giving shelter to snakes.

 

Houses in which the sons and wife shower sharp words like a snake’s poison are like trees which are the home of snakes. No one, out of fear, touches even the shadows of such householders. Though they have abundant wealth, if their houses are devoid of water for washing the feet of Vaiṣṇavas (tīrtha-pādīya), those houses are like trees where snakes reside.

svāgataṁ vo dvija-śreṣṭhā

yad-vratāni mumukṣavaḥ

caranti śraddhayā dhīrā

bālā eva bṛhanti ca

Welcome to you! You are the best of the brāhmaṇas because, desiring liberation, you have undergone brahmacārī vows with faith, and though you are boys, you have achieved liberation.

You are the best of brāhmaṇas because (yat), desiring liberation you underwent vows of brahmacārya with faith, and being just boys, you have achieved liberation. You did undergo the difficulties of brahmacārya and the practices for gaining liberation.
