trivargasādhane yatnaḥ kartavyo gṛhamedhinā | tatsaṃsiddhau gṛhasthasya siddhiratra paratra ca
Ang maybahay (gṛhastha) ay dapat magsikap upang makamtan ang tatlong layunin ng buhay—dharma, artha, at kāma. Kapag natupad nang wasto, nagkakamit siya ng tagumpay sa buhay na ito at sa kabilang-buhay.

None; it is a general instruction on gṛhastha-dharma.
A life-practice prescription: disciplined effort toward the trivarga as part of dharmic household life.
