The Sumanā Narrative: Vaiṣṇava Hospitality, Āṣāḍha Śukla Ekādaśī, and the Rise to Brāhmaṇahood
दारेषु पुत्रलोभेन म्रियमाणेन वै तदा । तस्य पापस्य भावेन दारिद्रं त्वामुपाविशत्
dāreṣu putralobhena mriyamāṇena vai tadā | tasya pāpasya bhāvena dāridraṃ tvāmupāviśat
Ketika itu, saat sedang nazak—dikuasai loba menginginkan putra melalui isteri—oleh kekuatan dosa itu, kemiskinan pun menimpamu.
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.
