Shloka 31
धर्मनिन्दा–धर्मोपासनाफलम् तथा साध्वाचारलक्षणम्
Fruits of Disparaging vs. Observing Dharma; Marks of Good Conduct
यजते नित्ययज्ञैश्व स्वाध्यायपरम: शुचि: । दान्तो ब्राह्मणसत्कर्ता सर्ववर्णबुभूषक:
yajate nityayajñaiś ca svādhyāyaparamaḥ śuciḥ | dānto brāhmaṇasatkārtā sarvavarṇabubhūṣakaḥ ||
シュリー・マヘーシュヴァラは言った。「ヴァイシャ（Vaiśya）は清浄にしてスヴァーディヤーヤ（svādhyāya：聖典の学修）を最上とし、日々の定められた祭祀によって絶えず礼拝すべきである。自制してブラーフマナ（Brāhmaṇa）を敬い仕え、またすべてのヴァルナ（varṇa：社会の諸階層）の安寧と向上を願え。このように学修・節制・祭祀の務めに根ざした家住者のダルマを律して行ずる者は、『二度生まれし者』（dvija）にふさわしくなり、清浄と高き生を得る。」

Educational Q&A
A Vaiśya should perfect household dharma through purity, daily sacrificial obligation, devotion to svādhyāya, self-restraint, and respectful service of Brāhmaṇas, while aiming at the welfare of all social orders; such conduct elevates and purifies him.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Śrī Maheśvara is giving prescriptive instruction on proper conduct (dharma). This verse outlines the ethical-ritual profile expected of a Vaiśya householder: continual yajña, study, restraint, and social responsibility.
