यत्र मैत्री गृहे बालवृद्धयोषिन्नरेषु च ।
तथा स्वजनवर्गेषु गृहं तच्चापि वर्जय ॥
yatra maitrī gṛhe bālavṛddhayoṣinnareṣu ca | tathā svajanavargeṣu gṛhaṃ tac cāpi varjaya ||

Dharma is not only ritual correctness but also relational health. A home characterized by maitrī across vulnerable and powerful members alike is presented as protected and not to be preyed upon.
Ethical counsel (ācāra) embedded in Purāṇic discourse; outside the strict five-topic framework.
Maitrī is a sattvic field-condition: it reduces conflict-generated ‘openings’ (randhra) in the subtle environment of the home, making it inhospitable to disruptive entities.
