Shloka 33
धर्मनिन्दा–धर्मोपासनाफलम् तथा साध्वाचारलक्षणम्
Fruits of Disparaging vs. Observing Dharma; Marks of Good Conduct
अन्निहोत्रमुपासं श्व जुद्दानश्व॒ यथाविधि । सर्वातिथ्यमुपातिष्ठन् शेषान्नकृतभोजन:
agnihotram upāsaṁś ca juhuyād aśvaṁ yathāvidhi | sarvātithyam upātiṣṭhan śeṣānna-kṛta-bhojanaḥ ||
マハーデーヴァは言った。「アグニホートラ（Agnihotra）を常に奉持し、規定に従って聖火へ供物を投じよ。すべての客を正しいもてなしで敬い、他者を先に饗してから後に自ら食し、供献の残りを己の食とせよ。かく家住の務めにおいて—節し、へりくだり、定められた儀礼に忠実であることにより—祭祀と自制と奉仕によってダルマを支えるのである。」
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches household dharma through disciplined ritual and ethics: maintain the daily fire-sacrifice as prescribed, practise universal hospitality, and eat only after fulfilling duties—ideally from the remainder after offerings and serving others—cultivating humility and restraint.
Śrī Mahādeva is instructing on proper conduct (ācāra) for a householder—especially the integration of yajña (Agnihotra) with social duty (atithi-satkāra), presenting a model of righteous living grounded in Vedic rites and service.
