कुद्दालं दात्रपिटकं प्रकीर्ण कांस्यभाजनम् | द्रव्योपकरणं सर्व नान्ववैक्षत् कुटुम्बिनी,दैत्योंकी गृहस्वामिनियाँ घरमें इधर-उधर बिखरे हुए कुदाल, दराँती (या हँसुआ), पिटारी, काँसेके बर्तन तथा अन्य सब द्रव्यों और सामानोंकी देख-भाल नहीं करती हैं
kuddālaṃ dātrapīṭakaṃ prakīrṇaṃ kāṃsyabhājanam | dravyopakaraṇaṃ sarvaṃ nānvavaikṣat kuṭumbinī ||
Śakra berkata: “Si isteri rumah tangga langsung tidak menjaga harta benda rumah: cangkul, sabit, bakul, bejana gangsa yang berselerak, dan segala perkakas serta milik keluarga—terbiar bertaburan di sana sini.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical importance of attentiveness and stewardship in household life: neglect of one’s responsibilities leads to disorder and loss of well-being, whereas dharma in the gṛhastha setting includes careful management of shared resources.
Śakra describes a scene of domestic disorder: tools and utensils are scattered, and the housewife is not supervising or maintaining the household goods, illustrating a lapse in proper household conduct.
