Tithi-Nirṇaya for Vratas: Ekādaśī Rules, Saṅkrānti Punya-kāla, Eclipse Observances, and Prāyaścitta
पूर्वा गृहस्थैः सा कार्य्या ह्युत्तरा यतिभिस्तथा । गृहस्थाः सिद्धिमिच्छंति यतो मोक्षं यतीश्वराः ॥ ४३ ॥
pūrvā gṛhasthaiḥ sā kāryyā hyuttarā yatibhistathā | gṛhasthāḥ siddhimicchaṃti yato mokṣaṃ yatīśvarāḥ || 43 ||
پہلا طریقہ گِرہستھوں کو کرنا چاہیے اور دوسرا طریقہ یتیوں کو۔ کیونکہ گِرہستھ سِدھی اور بھلائی چاہتے ہیں، جبکہ یتی اِیشور موکش ہی کے طالب ہوتے ہیں۔
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada on ashrama-dharma)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It distinguishes spiritual disciplines by life-stage: householders prioritize dharmic prosperity and steady attainment, while renunciants prioritize the single aim of moksha.
By clarifying goals: bhakti in the householder life is often integrated with duties and righteous prosperity, while bhakti for renunciants is oriented toward exclusive liberation-focused surrender.
The verse is primarily dharma-shastric (ashrama classification) rather than a Vedanga topic; it practically teaches role-based application of discipline according to one’s ashrama.
