Varṇāśrama-ācāra and Vikarma: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Inquiry on Safe Dharmas (शिवधर्मप्रश्नः)
Devanagari script
अधीत्य वेदान् कृतसर्वकृत्य: संतानमुत्पाद्य सुखानि भुक्त्वा | समाहित: प्रचरेद् दुश्चरं यो गार्हस्थ्यधर्म मुनिधर्मजुष्टम्
Transliteration
bhīṣma uvāca | adhītya vedān kṛta-sarva-kṛtyaḥ santānam utpādya sukhāni bhuktvā | samāhitaḥ pracared duścaraṃ yo gārhasthya-dharmaṃ muni-dharma-juṣṭam ||
Translation
毗湿摩说道：“如今且听居家者之法。凡人既已研习吠陀，圆满诸所规定之善业；又生育后嗣，享受家住之正当安乐；而仍能摄心专一、安住不散，奉行那艰难的居家之法——其生活方式与圣仙之戒行相应——此人实为卓绝。”
