Dev provided extensive and respectful hospitality to the Sanyasi and his companions. According to Chapter 40, the three guests arrived at noon and were served a meal that left them "thoroughly satisfied." After the meal, Dev ensured all proper customs were observed with great care. This included the rituals of Uttaraposhan (final sipping of water) and Shuddhachaman (rinsing the mouth). Furthermore, he offered fragrant cool water, mouth fresheners, sandalwood paste, flowers, betel leaves, perfume, and rosewater to his guests. The text emphasizes that Dev provided all of this "with great respect and joy," demonstrating his commitment as a host despite his earlier suspicions.
