दारेषु पुत्रलोभेन म्रियमाणेन वै तदा । तस्य पापस्य भावेन दारिद्रं त्वामुपाविशत्
dāreṣu putralobhena mriyamāṇena vai tadā | tasya pāpasya bhāvena dāridraṃ tvāmupāviśat
അപ്പോൾ, ഭാര്യയിലൂടെ പുത്രലോഭത്തിൽ ആകുലനായി മരിക്കുമ്പോൾ, ആ പാപത്തിന്റെ ഭാവഫലമായി ദാരിദ്ര്യം നിന്നെ ബാധിച്ചു।
Unspecified in the provided excerpt (context needed from surrounding verses)
Concept: Clinging desire at death—especially possessive craving—intensifies pāpa-bhāva and shapes the next birth’s suffering, here manifesting as poverty.
Application: Cultivate daily remembrance (nāma-japa), simplify desires, and practice non-possessive family love; prepare for death through charity, forgiveness, and devotional habits so the mind does not collapse into craving.

FAQs
It links intense attachment—specifically craving for a son—to sinful disposition (pāpa-bhāva) and portrays poverty as a karmic consequence that “enters” one’s life.
No. The emphasis is on lobha (greed/compulsion) and unethical, attachment-driven intention, not on household life itself.
Unchecked desire can distort judgment at life’s end and generate harmful karma; cultivating restraint and right intention is presented as protection against such consequences.
