Adhyaya 51 — Yaksha Injunctions: Graha-Children and Female Spirits Causing Domestic and Ritual Disruptions
शरीरारोग्यभोग्येषु सुखदानधनेषु च ।
वृद्धबालातुरेष्वेव शान्तिं कुर्वन्तु मे सदा ॥
śarīrārogya-bhogyeṣu sukha-dāna-dhaneṣu ca |
vṛddha-bāla-ātureṣv eva śāntiṃ kurvantu me sadā ||
ਸਰੀਰ ਦੀ ਤੰਦਰੁਸਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਭੋਗਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ, ਸੁਖ ਵਿੱਚ, ਦਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਧਨ ਵਿੱਚ—ਖ਼ਾਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਬੁਜ਼ੁਰਗਾਂ, ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਬਿਮਾਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਸਬੰਧ ਵਿੱਚ—ਉਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਸ਼ਾਂਤੀ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ਣ।

Well-being is holistic: health, prosperity, enjoyment, and charity are linked, and dharma is measured by special concern for those most susceptible to suffering—the old, the young, and the sick.
Ācāra/Dharma—social ethics and protective ritual intent.
The vulnerable categories mark ‘thin boundaries’ of life-force; śānti here means stabilizing prāṇic and social supports so that prosperity does not become a source of imbalance or harm.
