यस्मिन्नो मार्जनं हर्म्ये क्रियते नोपलेपनम् । न मांगल्यं च सत्कारः प्रेता भुंजति तत्र हि
yasminno mārjanaṃ harmye kriyate nopalepanam | na māṃgalyaṃ ca satkāraḥ pretā bhuṃjati tatra hi
Di rumah yang hanya disapu tetapi tidak disapukan/ditampal dengan rapi (penjagaan kebersihan yang sempurna), dan tiada amalan auspicious serta tiada penghormatan kepada tetamu—di situlah para preta menikmati hidangan.
Māṃsāda

Outer cleanliness, auspicious conduct, and honoring others together protect the sanctity of home and food.
