Chapter 40 provides a detailed account of the hospitality Dev extended. After the Sanyasi and his two companions were 'thoroughly satisfied by the meal,' Dev ensured all the proper post-meal rituals were followed. These included the 'Uttaraposhan' (final sipping of water) and 'Shuddhachaman' (rinsing the mouth). The guests were also given fragrant cool water to drink and 'Mukhashuddhi,' which are mouth fresheners. Furthermore, Dev showed great respect and joy by completing the etiquette of offering sandalwood paste, flowers, betel leaves, perfume, and rosewater to his guests, demonstrating a complete and honorable hosting.
