The Sin of Breaking Households: Citrā’s Past Karma and the Remedy of Hari’s Name and Meditation
नित्यं परगृहे वासो भ्रमते सा गृहे गृहे । परच्छिद्रं समापश्येत्सदा दुष्टा च प्राणिषु
nityaṃ paragṛhe vāso bhramate sā gṛhe gṛhe | paracchidraṃ samāpaśyetsadā duṣṭā ca prāṇiṣu
นางพำนักอยู่ในเรือนของผู้อื่นเป็นนิตย์ เที่ยวเร่จากเรือนสู่เรือน; คอยสอดส่องหาช่องโหว่ของผู้อื่นเสมอ และมีจิตพยาบาทต่อสรรพชีวิตตลอดกาล
Unspecified (narratorial/ethical description within Bhūmi-khaṇḍa context)
Concept: Doṣa-darśana (constant fault-finding) and para-gṛha-vāsa (living in others’ homes) signal adharma and lead to hostility toward beings.
Application: Avoid gossip and habitual criticism; practice ‘guṇa-grahaṇa’ (seeing virtues), keep honest livelihood and boundaries, and adopt daily restraint of speech (mauna/mitabhāṣa) especially in communal spaces.
