Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A large company destroys these five (advantages), the respectful treatment (of the invited, the propriety of) place and time, purity and (the selection of) virtuous Brāhmaṇa (guests); he therefore shall not seek (to entertain) a large company.
