After being invited, the Sanyasi and his two companions returned to Dev's house exactly at noon. As described in Chapter 40, all three sat down and were thoroughly satisfied by the meal. Dev, acting as a gracious host, ensured all formalities were observed. After the meal concluded, the rituals of Uttaraposhan and Shuddhachaman were completed. Dev then offered his guests fragrant cool water, mouth fresheners, sandalwood paste, flowers, betel leaves, perfume, and rosewater with great respect and joy before they departed, having been treated as honored guests.
