Adhyaya 29 — Alarka’s Inquiry and Madalasa’s Teaching on Householder Dharma (Gārhasthya), Vaiśvadeva, and Atithi Hospitality
दद्याद्धात्रे विधात्रे बलिं द्वारे गृहस्य तु ।
अर्यम्णेऽथ बहिर्दद्याद् गृहेभ्यश्च समन्ततः ॥
dadyāddhātre vidhātre baliṃ dvāre gṛhasya tu / aryamṇe 'tha bahirdadyād gṛhebhyaś ca samantataḥ
ಮನೆಯ ಬಾಗಿಲಲ್ಲಿ ಧಾತೃ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಧಾತೃ ದೇವತೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಬಲಿಯನ್ನು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಬೇಕು; ನಂತರ ಹೊರಗೆ ಆರ್ಯಮನ್ಗೆ ಬಲಿಯನ್ನು ಅರ್ಪಿಸಿ, ಮನೆಯ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ಎಲ್ಲೆಡೆಗೂ ಬಲಿಯನ್ನು ಇಡಬೇಕು।

Householder life is sanctified by daily, disciplined giving: offerings are not merely ritual, but a training in responsibility toward cosmic order (ṛta) and social order—beginning at one’s own threshold and extending outward.
Primarily Ācāra/Dharma material (often embedded within Purāṇic teaching) rather than the five headline topics; it supports Purāṇic dharma instruction ancillary to vaṃśa/manvantara narratives.
The ‘door’ and ‘outside perimeter’ symbolize liminal space: offerings at boundaries ritually harmonize the seen and unseen forces around domestic life, establishing a protected, orderly field for dharmic living.
