Adhyaya 35 — Madālasa’s Instruction on Purity, Impurity, and Corrective Rites (Śauca and Aśauca)
यस्य चानुदिनं हानिर्गृहे नित्यस्य कर्मणः । यश्च ब्राह्मणसंत्यक्तः किल्विषी स नराधमः ॥
yasya cānudinaṃ hānir gṛhe nityasya karmaṇaḥ / yaś ca brāhmaṇa-santyaktaḥ kilviṣī sa narādhamaḥ
யாருடைய இல்லத்தில் தினசரி கட்டாயக் கர்மங்கள் நாள்தோறும் குறைந்து போகின்றனவோ, மேலும் பிராமணர்கள் குற்றமெனக் கருதி அவரை விலக்குகிறார்களோ—அந்தப் பாவி மனிதர்களில் மிகத் தாழ்ந்தவன்.

Daily duties are portrayed as the backbone of dharmic life; steady neglect erodes both spiritual merit and social trust. Dharma is sustained more by consistency than by occasional intensity.
Ancillary dharma/ācāra instruction.
‘Daily rites’ symbolize daily recollection (smṛti) of the sacred. Their decline mirrors the gradual fall of awareness into forgetfulness (pramāda).
