Yajñamālī–Sumālī Upākhyāna: Merit-Transfer through Temple Plastering (Lepa) and the Redemption of a Sinner
सर्वस्मिन्नाशमायाते हिरण्ये पितृसंचिते । अपहृत्य परं द्रव्यं वारस्त्रीनिरतोऽभवत् ॥ ५ ॥
sarvasminnāśamāyāte hiraṇye pitṛsaṃcite | apahṛtya paraṃ dravyaṃ vārastrīnirato'bhavat || 5 ||
પિતા દ્વારા એકત્રિત કરાયેલું બધું સોનું અને ધન નાશ પામ્યું ત્યારે, તેણે બીજાનું ધન હરી લીધું અને વારાંગનાઓમાં રત રહ્યો.

It shows how attachment to inherited wealth, when frustrated by loss, can push a person into adharma—stealing and sensual addiction—accelerating karmic downfall.
By contrast: bhakti requires self-restraint and purity of conduct; stealing and indulgence in lust scatter the mind, making steady remembrance of Vishnu and disciplined devotion difficult.
No specific Vedanga technique is taught in this line; it functions as dharma-nīti instruction—warning against apahara (theft) and kāma-driven habits that obstruct study, ritual discipline, and spiritual practice.
