The Wheel of Time and the Norms of the Āśramas
सर्वमेतद् यथाशक्ति विप्रो निर्वर्तयन् शुचि: । एवं युक्तो जयेत् स्वर्ग गृहस्थ: संशितव्रत:
sarvam etad yathāśakti vipro nirvartayan śuciḥ | evaṁ yukto jayet svargaṁ gṛhasthaḥ saṁśitavrataḥ ||
वायु बोले—शुचि ब्राह्मण यदि अपनी शक्ति के अनुसार इन सबका निर्वाह करता है, और इस प्रकार संयम व सदाचार से युक्त होकर, गृहस्थ-आश्रम में दृढ़ व्रत वाला रहता है, तो वह स्वर्गलोक को जीत लेता है।

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that a householder brāhmaṇa should perform prescribed duties sincerely and within his capacity (yathāśakti), with purity and disciplined observance; such steady dharmic living is said to lead to the attainment of heaven (svarga).
Vāyu is concluding or reinforcing an instruction about proper conduct: after listing or implying a set of rules and observances, he states that a pure brāhmaṇa householder who follows them to the best of his ability, with firm vows and self-control, achieves the heavenly goal.
