Fruits of Disparaging vs. Observing Dharma; Marks of Good Conduct
स्ववेश्मनि यथान्यायमुपास्ते भैक्ष्यमेव च । त्रिकालमन्निहोत्रं च जुह्दानो वै यथाविधि,क्षत्रिय अपने ही घरमें न््यायपूर्वक भिक्षा (भोजन) करे। तीनों समय विधिवत् अग्निहोत्र करता रहे
svaveśmani yathānyāyam upāste bhaikṣyam eva ca | trikālam agnihotraṃ ca juhvāno vai yathāvidhi ||
وہ اپنے ہی گھر میں عدل و آداب کے مطابق ہی بھکشا-بھوجن قبول کرے۔ اور ہر روز تینوں اوقات میں مقررہ طریقے کے مطابق اگنی ہوترا قائم رکھے، شاستر کے مطابق آگ میں آہوتی دیتا رہے۔

Educational Q&A
Even while living at home, one should sustain oneself by ethically obtained food (here framed as bhaikṣya taken in a just and proper manner) and remain steadfast in obligatory daily rites—especially the thrice-daily Agnihotra—performed exactly according to scriptural rule.
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing on right conduct (dharma) and disciplined living: the listener is told to remain within one’s household order, accept sustenance without injustice or impropriety, and keep up the prescribed Vedic fire-offerings at the proper times.
