Shloka 23
शकुनि (हिरण्मय-पक्षी) उपदेशः — Vighasāśin and the Difficulty of Gārhasthya
दुराधर्ष पद चैव गच्छन्ति विघसाशिन: । सायंप्रातर्विभज्यान्नं स्वकुटुम्बे यथाविधि
durādharṣa-padaṁ caiva gacchanti vighasāśinaḥ | sāyaṁ prātar vibhajyānnaṁ sva-kuṭumbe yathā-vidhi ||
जो विघसाशी हैं—जो प्रातः और सायंकाल विधि के अनुसार अपने कुटुम्ब में अन्न का विभाग करके, अंत में शेष अन्न ही ग्रहण करते हैं—वे दुर्जय पद को प्राप्त होते हैं।

Educational Q&A
A householder should distribute food properly—honoring gods, ancestors, guests, and dependents first—and eat only the remainder; such disciplined, other-first conduct leads toward an unconquerable spiritual goal.
Arjuna states a dharma teaching: those called vighasāśins, who follow the rule of morning-and-evening distribution of food in the household and eat last, are said to attain a secure, hard-to-overcome state.
