Shloka 31
धर्मनिन्दा–धर्मोपासनाफलम् तथा साध्वाचारलक्षणम्
Fruits of Disparaging vs. Observing Dharma; Marks of Good Conduct
यजते नित्ययज्ञैश्व स्वाध्यायपरम: शुचि: । दान्तो ब्राह्मणसत्कर्ता सर्ववर्णबुभूषक:
yajate nityayajñaiś ca svādhyāyaparamaḥ śuciḥ | dānto brāhmaṇasatkārtā sarvavarṇabubhūṣakaḥ ||
圣者摩醯湿伐罗说道：“当令吠舍（Vaiśya）清净自持，以诵习圣典之自学（svādhyāya）为最上，恒常以每日定式之祭祀而奉事。其人当制御诸根，恭敬供养婆罗门（Brāhmaṇa），并愿一切种姓（varṇa）同得安乐与兴盛。由此以学修、克制与祭祀之责为本的居家法（gṛhastha-dharma）而行者，堪称‘二生者’（dvija），得清净，并获更为尊贵之生。”

Educational Q&A
A Vaiśya should perfect household dharma through purity, daily sacrificial obligation, devotion to svādhyāya, self-restraint, and respectful service of Brāhmaṇas, while aiming at the welfare of all social orders; such conduct elevates and purifies him.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Śrī Maheśvara is giving prescriptive instruction on proper conduct (dharma). This verse outlines the ethical-ritual profile expected of a Vaiśya householder: continual yajña, study, restraint, and social responsibility.
