I don't have any exact parallels - but the Rig-Veda has this
to say on liberality. The tenth book of the RV has a lot of the
most interesting hymns.
Rig Veda - Book The Tenth (Griffith translation)
HYMN CXVII. Liberality.
1. THE Gods have not ordained hunger to be our death: even to the well-fed man comes death in varied shape.
The riches of the liberal never waste away, while he who will not give finds none to comfort him.
2 The man with food in store who, when the needy comes in miserable case begging for bread to eat,
Hardens his heart against him-even when of old he did him service-finds not one to comfort him.
3 Bounteous is he who gives unto the beggar who comes to him in want of food and feeble.
Success attends him in the shout of battle. He makes a friend of him in future troubles.
4 No friend is he who to his friend and comrade who comes imploring food, will offer nothing.
Let him depart-no home is that to rest in-, and rather seek a stranger to support him.
5 Let the rich satisfy the poor implorer, and bend his eye upon a longer pathway.
Riches come now to one, now to another, and like the wheels of cars are ever rolling.
6 The foolish man wins food with fruitless labour: that food -I speak the truth- shall be his ruin.
He feeds no trusty friend, no man to love him. All guilt is he who eats with no partaker.
7 The ploughshare ploughing makes the food that feeds us, and with its feet cuts through the path it follows.
Better the speaking than the silent Brahman: the liberal friend outvalues him who gives not.
8 He with one foot hath far outrun the biped, and the two-footed catches the three-footed.
Four-footed creatures come when bipeds call them, and stand and look where five are met together.
9 The hands are both alike: their labour differs. The yield of sister milch-kine is unequal.
Twins even diffier in their strength and vigour: two, even kinsmen, differ in their bounty.
The Yajur-Veda compares aspects of the sacrifice to the hospitality shown to a guest.

PRAPATHAKA IV The Piling of the Fire Altar (continued)
v. 4. 6.
'Do thou lead him forward', (with these words) he puts on the kindling-sticks; that is as
when one provides hospitality for one who has come on a visit.

PRAPATHAKA II The Preparation of the Ground for the Fire
v. 2. 2.
'With kindling-wood serve Agni', (with these words) he puts a kindling-stick, made wet with
ghee, upon him when put in place; that is as when hospitality with
melted butter is offered to a guest on arrival;
KANDA VI
PRAPATHAKA II The Exposition of the Soma Sacrifice (continued)
vi. 2. 1.
If he should offer hospitality after unyoking both (the oxen), he would break up the sacrifice.
If (he should offer) before he has unyoked both, it would be as when hospitality is offered to
one who has not yet arrived. One ox is unyoked, one ox is not unyoked; then he offers hospitality,
for the continuance of the sacrifice. The wife (of the sacrificer) holds on (to the cart); for the
wife is mistress of the household gear; verily he offers what is approved by the wife. The share of
the wife in the sacrifice makes a pair; so the wife also [1] grasps the sacrifice that it may not be
interrupted. With whatever retinue the king comes, to all of them hospitality is offered; the metres
are the retinue of King Soma. 'Thou art the hospitality of Agni. For Visnu thee!' he says; thus he offers
(hospitality) to the Gayatri. 'Thou art the hospitality of Soma. 'For Visnu thee!' he says; thus he
offers (hospitality) to the Tristubh. 'Thou art the hospitality of the stranger. For Visnu thee!' he says;
thus he offers (hospitality) to the Jagati [2]. 'For Agni thee, giver of wealth, for Visnu thee!' he says;
thus he offers (hospitality) to the Anustubh. 'For the eagle, bringer of the Soma, thee, for Visnu thee!'
he says; thus he offers (hospitality) to the Gayatri. He offers five times. The Pankti has five syllables,
the sacrifice is fivefold; verily he wins the sacrifice. The theologians say, 'For what reason is the Gayatri
offered to on either side of the offering of hospitality?' Because the Gayatri brought the Soma down [3];
therefore is it offered to on both sides of hospitality, before and after. Hospitality is the head of the
sacrifice, the sacrificial cake is offered on nine potsherds, therefore the head has nine apertures.
The sacrificial cake is offered on nine potsherds. The three sets of three potsherds are commensurate with
the Trivrt Stoma, the Trivrt is brilliance; verily he places brilliance in the head of the sacrifice.
The sacrificial cake is offered on nine potsherds. The three sets of three potsherds are commensurate
with the threefold breath, the breath is threefold [4]; verily in order he places the threefold breath
in the head of the sacrifice. Now the Saccharum spontaneum shoots are the eyelashes of Prajapati, and his
lids are pieces of sugar-cane. In that the strew is of Saccharum spontaneum and the dividing-stakes of
sugar-cane, verily he brings together the eye of Prajapati. Now the libations made by the gods the Asuras
tore and ate. The gods saw the Gmelina arborea tree. (Thinking) 'It is fit for work; by it one can perform
work', they made the enclosing sticks of Gmelina arborea wood [5], and by them they smote away the Raksases.
In that the enclosing-sticks are made of Gmelina arborea wood, it is for the smiting away of the Raksases.
He makes them touch, that the Raksases may not go through them. He does not place one in front, for the sun
which rises in front smites away the Raksases. He places the kindling-sticks erect; verily from above he smites
away the Raksases; (he places one) with a Yajus, the other in silence, to make a pair. He places two; the sacrifice
has two feet; (verily they serve) for support. The theologians say [6], 'There are both Agni and Soma here; why
is hospitality offered to Soma and not to Agni?' In that having kindled fire he places it on the fire, by that
verily is hospitality offered to Agni. Or rather they say, 'Agni is all the gods.' In that he kindles fire after
placing the oblation, he thus produces all the gods for the oblation when it has been placed.

i. 2. 10.
Thou art the hospitality of Agni. For Visnu thee! Thou art the hospitality of Soma.
For Visnu thee! Thou art the hospitality of the stranger. For Visnu thee! For Agni thee,
giver of wealth, for Visnu thee; for the eagle, bringer of the Soma, thee, for Visnu thee!
