Shloka 33
Brāhmaṇa-pūjā, Haviḥ-dāna, and the Vāsudeva–Pṛthivī Saṃvāda
Chapter 34
देवतातिथि भृत्यानां पितृणां चार्चने रता: । शिष्टान्नभोजिनो ये च दुर्गाण्यतितरन्ति ते
devatātithi-bhṛtyānāṃ pitṝṇāṃ cārcane ratāḥ | śiṣṭānna-bhojino ye ca durgāṇy atitaranti te ||
Nārada berkata: Mereka yang tekun memuliakan para dewa, menyambut tamu, memelihara para tanggungan dan pelayan, serta memuja para leluhur—dan yang makan hanya anna-śiṣṭa, sisa suci dari yajña—mereka menyeberangi krisis yang sulit sekalipun.

Educational Q&A
A dharmic life—worship of gods and ancestors, honoring guests, caring for those dependent on you, and disciplined consumption of sanctified food—creates moral strength and divine support that helps one overcome severe difficulties.
Nārada is instructing about conduct (ācāra) and its fruits, stating that those who consistently perform worship, hospitality, and responsible care, and who live with ritual restraint, are able to pass through even formidable crises.
