Gṛhastha-vṛtti and Niyama: Models of Householder Livelihood and Discipline (गृहस्थवृत्ति-नियमाः)
वर्तेत तेषु गृहवानक्रुद्धयन्ननसूयक: । पज्चभि: सततं यज्जैर्विघसाशी यजेत च
varteta teṣu gṛhavān akruddhayan anasūyakaḥ | pañcabhiḥ satataṃ yajñair vighasāśī yajeta ca ||
ヴィヤーサは言った。「家住のバラモンは、怒りなく、他人の過失をあげつらうことなく、その規範のうちに生きよ。日々、五つの大祭(パンチャ・マハーヤジュニャ)を怠らず、供物を捧げた後の祭余(ヤジュニャ・シシュタ)の食のみを口にして、祭式によって礼拝せよ。」
व्यास उवाच
A householder—especially a Brahmin—should practice dharma through inner discipline (freedom from anger and fault-finding) and outer discipline (regular performance of the five daily great sacrifices), sustaining himself on food that is sanctified as the remainder of offerings rather than on self-centered consumption.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on conduct, Vyāsa continues prescribing the proper way of life for the gṛhastha: live calmly and without malice, keep up the continual cycle of daily yajñas (pañca-mahāyajña), and eat only yajña-śiṣṭa (vighasa), reinforcing a life ordered around duty and giving.
