Fruits of Disparaging vs. Observing Dharma; Marks of Good Conduct
स्ववेश्मनि यथान्यायमुपास्ते भैक्ष्यमेव च । त्रिकालमन्निहोत्रं च जुह्दानो वै यथाविधि,क्षत्रिय अपने ही घरमें न््यायपूर्वक भिक्षा (भोजन) करे। तीनों समय विधिवत् अग्निहोत्र करता रहे
svaveśmani yathānyāyam upāste bhaikṣyam eva ca | trikālam agnihotraṃ ca juhvāno vai yathāvidhi ||
وفي بيته نفسه، لا يقبل طعام الصدقة إلا على وجهٍ يوافق العدل واللياقة. وعند الأوقات الثلاثة المعيّنة كل يوم، فليُقم الأَغْنِيهوترا على وجهها، مُقدِّمًا القرابين في النار المقدّسة وفق الطقس المقرَّر.

Educational Q&A
Even while living at home, one should sustain oneself by ethically obtained food (here framed as bhaikṣya taken in a just and proper manner) and remain steadfast in obligatory daily rites—especially the thrice-daily Agnihotra—performed exactly according to scriptural rule.
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing on right conduct (dharma) and disciplined living: the listener is told to remain within one’s household order, accept sustenance without injustice or impropriety, and keep up the prescribed Vedic fire-offerings at the proper times.
