सर्वातिथ्यं त्रिवर्गस्य यथाशक्ति निशानिशम् | शूद्रधर्म: समाख्यातस्त्रिवर्गपरिचारणम्
sarvātithyaṁ trivargasya yathāśakti niśāniśam | śūdradharmaḥ samākhyātas trivargaparicāraṇam ||
ມະເຫສະວະຣະກ່າວວ່າ: «ຊູດຣະຄວນຕາມກໍາລັງຂອງຕົນ ຕ້ອນຮັບແຂກຢ່າງຄົບຖ້ວນ ແລະດ້ວຍຄວາມເຄົາລົບ ຢ່າງຕໍ່ເນື່ອງທຸກຄືນທຸກວັນ ຕໍ່ສາມວັນນະທີ່ສູງກວ່າ. ການຮັບໃຊ້ແລະປະຄອງພຣາຫມັນ, ກະສັດຕຣິຍະ, ແລະໄວຊະ—ຖືກປະກາດວ່າເປັນທຳມະຫຼັກຂອງເຂົາ»។

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that a Shudra’s primary dharma is continual service and respectful hospitality toward the three higher varṇas, performed within one’s means (yathāśakti), emphasizing humility, support, and social responsibility.
In Anushasana Parva’s dharma-instruction context, Maheshvara is expounding normative duties; here he defines the characteristic duty of the Shudra as ongoing hospitality and attendance upon Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and Vaishyas.
