Chanakya Niti • Chapter 8 • Shloka 23
अन्नहीना दहेद्राष्ट्रं मंत्रहीनश्च रिषीत्विजः ।
यजमानं दानहीनो नास्ति यज्ञसमो रिपुः ।।
There is no enemy like a yajna (sacrifice) which consumes the kingdom when not attended by feeding on a large scale; consumes the priest when the chanting is not done properly; and consumes the yajaman (the responsible person) when the gifts are not made.
