परलोकस्त्वयं लोको जीयते भार्यया द्वयम् । देवपित्रतिथीज्यादि नाभार्यः कर्म चार्हति
paralokastvayaṃ loko jīyate bhāryayā dvayam | devapitratithījyādi nābhāryaḥ karma cārhati
یہ لوک اور پرلوک—دونوں بیوی کے ذریعے ہی حاصل ہوتے ہیں۔ بیوی کے بغیر آدمی دیوتاؤں کی پوجا، پِتروں کی ترپن، اور مہمان نوازی جیسے کرموں کا اہل نہیں رہتا۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A gṛhastha couple performs threefold duties: offering flowers to a deity, making a pitṛ-offering near water, and welcoming a guest with food—showing that rites are complete through the wife’s partnership.
Householder life is a dharmic institution: worldly welfare and otherworldly merit are linked to righteous domestic order.
Kāśī is the overarching sacred setting, though the verse itself focuses on gṛhastha-ritual dharma rather than a named tirtha.
It references deva-worship, pitṛ-offerings, and atithi-honor as key household rites (ijyā-ādi).
