Gṛhastha-praveśa: Vivāha-bheda, Ācāra-śauca, Śrāddha-kāla, and Vaiṣṇava-lakṣaṇa
भर्त्तृपुत्रेषु या नारी सर्वदा निष्ठुरा भवेत् । परानुकूलिनी या च सर्वथा तां परित्यजेत् ॥ १४ ॥
bharttṛputreṣu yā nārī sarvadā niṣṭhurā bhavet | parānukūlinī yā ca sarvathā tāṃ parityajet || 14 ||
Người nữ nào luôn khắc nghiệt với các con trai của chồng, và người nữ nào hoàn toàn ngả theo kẻ khác ngoài gia đình, thì phải dứt bỏ nàng bằng mọi cách.
Narada (as a dharma-instructor in the Narada Purana narrative frame)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: raudra
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It frames household life (gṛhastha-dharma) as a field for practicing fairness, protection, and integrity—warning that persistent cruelty within the family and disloyal alignment with outsiders destroys dharma and domestic harmony.
By emphasizing ethical discipline at home: steadiness, non-cruelty, and loyalty are presented as foundations that support sattva and make one fit for sustained Vishnu-bhakti; devotion is not isolated from daily conduct.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; it is primarily dharma-nīti—practical guidance for household conduct rather than a technical science.
