कामबन्धन-निवृत्ति तथा शान्तिलक्षण-उपदेशः | Release from Desire-Bondage and the Marks of Peace
संविभागोअत्र भूतानां सर्वेषामेव शिष्यते । तथैवापचमाने भ्य: प्रदेयं गृहमेधिना
saṁvibhāgo 'tra bhūtānāṁ sarveṣām eva śiṣyate | tathaivāpacamānebhyaḥ pradeyaṁ gṛhamedhinā ||
毗耶娑说：“此处所教之理，是一切众生皆应得其应得之分。亦复如是，持守家火的居士，当把食物分给正在烹煮与劳作之人，使凡为家计出力者，无一被遗忘而失其份。”

The verse teaches saṁvibhāga—fair sharing—as a dharmic rule: a householder should ensure that all beings (and specifically those engaged in preparing food) receive an appropriate portion, reflecting responsibility and generosity in domestic life.
In the didactic setting of Śānti Parva, Vyāsa states a normative rule for household conduct: distribution of food and resources is to be done conscientiously, and the gṛhastha must give to those involved in cooking and sustaining the household.
