गृहस्थस्य सदाचारः: शौच, तर্পण, वैश्वदेव, अतिथिधर्म, भोजन-विधि, संध्योपासन, ऋतु-धर्मः
उदङ्मुखो दिवा मूत्रं विपरीतमुखो निशि कुर्वीतानापदि प्राज्ञो मूत्रोत्सर्गं च पार्थिव
udaṅmukho divā mūtraṃ viparītamukho niśi kurvītānāpadi prājño mūtrotsargaṃ ca pārthiva
ହେ ରାଜନ୍! ଆପତ୍ତି ନଥିଲେ ବୁଦ୍ଧିମାନ ଦିନେ ଉତ୍ତରମୁଖ ହୋଇ ମୂତ୍ରତ୍ୟାଗ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍; ରାତିରେ ବିପରୀତ ଦିଗକୁ ମୁହଁ କରି କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍।
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya; addressed here as 'O king')
This verse frames even private acts as part of dharma: disciplined conduct (achara) supports purity (shaucha) and harmony with cosmic order, especially when no emergency compels otherwise.
Parāśara gives practical, rule-based guidance for daily life—linking cleanliness, restraint, and situational exceptions (anāpadi) to living in alignment with dharma.
Though Vishnu is not named in this line, the Vishnu Purana presents dharma and ordered living as expressions of the Lord’s sovereignty—personal discipline becomes a way of honoring the sustaining principle embodied by Vishnu.
