Gṛhastha-vṛtti and Niyama: Models of Householder Livelihood and Discipline (गृहस्थवृत्ति-नियमाः)
वर्तेत तेषु गृहवानक्रुद्धयन्ननसूयक: । पज्चभि: सततं यज्जैर्विघसाशी यजेत च
varteta teṣu gṛhavān akruddhayan anasūyakaḥ | pañcabhiḥ satataṃ yajñair vighasāśī yajeta ca ||
毗耶娑说：居家之婆罗门当于诸行中生活，不起嗔怒，不以过失视人。应恒常奉行五大日常祭（五大祭），并以耶祭敬奉，只食供献之后所余之食——作为祭余而得净化之粮。

Educational Q&A
A householder—especially a Brahmin—should practice dharma through inner discipline (freedom from anger and fault-finding) and outer discipline (regular performance of the five daily great sacrifices), sustaining himself on food that is sanctified as the remainder of offerings rather than on self-centered consumption.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on conduct, Vyāsa continues prescribing the proper way of life for the gṛhastha: live calmly and without malice, keep up the continual cycle of daily yajñas (pañca-mahāyajña), and eat only yajña-śiṣṭa (vighasa), reinforcing a life ordered around duty and giving.
