## The Third Chapter
### With Hindi Commentary
**73**
First, show it to the Guru, and then to others. Only by doing this can one properly follow the rules of civility and humility.
In some copies, the word "Uvadanse" is replaced with "Padidanse", which means "to show again and again".
Now the author of the sutras speaks about the expectation of food invitation:
**Sehe Asanam Va Panam Va Khaim Va Saim Va Padigahitta Tam Puvva Mev Sehatarag Uvanimantei Paccha Rayanie Asayana Sehass.** || 16 ||
**Shaiksho'shanam Va Panam Va Khadim Va Svadim Va Prati Grihya Tat Purva Ev Shaikshatarakam Upanimantrayati Paschad Ratnikasya Ashatana Shaikshasya.** || 16 ||
**Word by Word Meaning:** Sehe - disciple, Asanam - food, Va - or, Panam - water, Va - or, Khaim - edible, Va - or, Saim - palatable, Padigahitta - taking, Tam - that food, Puvva Mev - first, Sehatarag - disciple, Uvanimantei - invites, Paccha - after, Rayanie - Ratnakara, Asayana - expectation, Sehass - disciple.
**Meaning:** When the disciple brings food, water, edible and palatable things back to the ashram, if he invites the disciple first and the Guru later, then the disciple (who invited the Guru later) will have an expectation.
**Commentary:** This highlights that when the disciple brings food back to the ashram, it is appropriate for him to first invite Ratnakara. If he invites another disciple before Ratnakara, then he will have an expectation, because breaking the order inevitably leads to breaking humility. Therefore, after offering the appropriate portion to Ratnakara or the Guru, only then should the disciple give his portion to other disciples. And it is also appropriate for the disciples to share the remaining portion of the food with the virtuous, with love, to increase mutual love.
