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 ||
ナーラダは言った。「神々を敬い、客人を歓待し、扶養すべき者と従者を養い、祖霊を祭ることに励み、しかも祭祀の供物の聖なる残り(供残)だけを食する者たちは、やはり険難の危機を渡り越える。」
नारद उवाच
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.
