Dharmopadeśa-Śānti: Rules of Impurity, Expiations, and Ancestor Rites
स्वेन भर्त्रा सहस्त्राब्दं माताभुक्ता सुदैवतम् । पितामह्यपि स्वेनैव स्वेनैव प्रपितामही ॥ ७७ ॥
svena bhartrā sahastrābdaṃ mātābhuktā sudaivatam | pitāmahyapi svenaiva svenaiva prapitāmahī || 77 ||
ماں نے اپنے ہی شوہر کے ساتھ، نیک بختی اور دَیوی عنایت کے سائے میں، ہزار برس تک ازدواجی زندگی کا سکھ بھوگا؛ اسی طرح دادی نے اپنے ہی (شوہر) کے ساتھ، اور پردادی نے بھی اپنے ہی کے ساتھ۔

It praises steadfast household dharma—chastity and loyalty to one’s rightful spouse—presented as a sign of good fortune (sudaivata) and a stabilizing force for family and lineage.
While not directly about Vishnu-bhakti, it supports bhakti indirectly by upholding purity of conduct (sadachara) in the grihastha stage, which the Purana treats as a foundation for worship, vows, and disciplined spiritual life.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana or Jyotisha) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is dharma-shastra style guidance on proper conduct within household life.
