Chapter 40 provides a detailed description of Dev's hospitality. After the Sanyasi arrived with his two companions at noon, they sat for the meal and were 'thoroughly satisfied.' Following the meal, several rituals were completed. These included the 'Uttaraposhan' (final sipping of water for purification), 'Shuddhachaman' (rinsing the mouth), and the drinking of fragrant cool water. To conclude the service, Dev respectfully offered 'Mukhashuddhi' (mouth fresheners) and honored his guests with sandalwood paste, flowers, betel leaves, perfume, and rosewater, ensuring all proper etiquette was observed with joy.
