Shloka 6
अध्याय १३२ — कर्मणा मनसा वाचा: स्वर्गमार्गः तथा आयुर्विपाकः
Adhyāya 132 — The path to heaven through deed, mind, and speech; karmic results for lifespan
श्रीरुवाच प्रकीर्ण भाजनं यत्र भिन्नभाण्डमथासनम् । योषितश्वैव हन्यते कश्मलोपहते गृहे
śrīr uvāca—prakīrṇa-bhājanaṃ yatra bhinna-bhāṇḍam atha āsanam | yoṣitaś caiva hanyate kaśmalopahate gṛhe ||
シュリー（ラクシュミー）は言った。「器が散らばり、道具は壊れ、座も裂け、しかも女たちが打たれ辱められる家――その家は罪によって穢れている。そのように汚れた家からは、祭礼や斎戒の時であっても、神々と祖霊は失望して引き返し、そこで捧げられる礼拝を受け取らない。」

Educational Q&A
A household’s moral and physical order reflects its dharma: disorder, neglect, and especially violence against women create sinful impurity, making the home inauspicious and unfit for receiving divine and ancestral blessings.
Bhīṣma reports Śrī (Lakṣmī) speaking about the marks of a fallen household—broken and scattered domestic items and the mistreatment of women—and explains that in such a home, even worship during festivals fails to please the gods and the ancestors.
