कुले जातां विनीतां च धर्मपत्नीं सुखोच्छ्रिताम् । यस्त्यजेद्दोषनिर्मुक्तां स प्रेतो जायते नरः
kule jātāṃ vinītāṃ ca dharmapatnīṃ sukhocchritām | yastyajeddoṣanirmuktāṃ sa preto jāyate naraḥ
良家に生まれ、慎み深く、安楽に暮らし、しかも咎なき正妻を捨てる者は、プレータ(餓鬼)として生まれる。
Unspecified in snippet (likely the respondent/teacher in the dialogue)
Scene: A householder turns away from a modest, faultless wife; behind him loom shadowy preta-forms and a cremation-ground aura, while dharma (as a radiant figure or scale) recedes.
It upholds fidelity and responsibility in gṛhastha life; abandoning a blameless spouse is treated as a serious breach of dharma.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
None explicit; the verse teaches conduct (ācāra) rather than a rite.
