వారి ఇళ్లలో ధాన్యకణాలు చెల్లాచెదురుగా పడి ఉంటాయి; వాటిని కాకులు, ఎలుకలు తింటాయి. వారు పాలను మూత లేకుండా వదిలేస్తారు; జూఠి చేతులతో నెయ్యిని తాకుతారు.

Educational Q&A

Dharma is upheld not only by grand vows but by everyday discipline: cleanliness, careful handling of food, and orderly household habits. Neglect of such śauca is portrayed as a moral and cultural decline.

Śakra (Indra) describes signs of negligent domestic life—grain left scattered for pests, milk left uncovered, and ghee handled with impure hands—using these concrete images to criticize improper conduct and loss of restraint.
