उद्योगपर्व — विदुरनीतिः (Adhyāya 37): आयुःक्षयहेतवः, नीतिसूत्राणि, बलभेदाः, पाण्डव-विग्रहदोषदर्शनम्
पितुरन्त:पुरं दद्यान्मातुर्दद्यान्महानसम् | गोषु चात्मसमं दद्यात् स्वयमेव कृषिं व्रजेत्
pitur antaḥpuraṁ dadyān mātur dadyān mahānasam | goṣu cātmasamaṁ dadyāt svayam eva kṛṣiṁ vrajet ||
毗度罗劝人以纪律与本分分理家务：将内宅之事托付于父，将厨房与家政之管领交予母；至于牛畜与财物，当给自己的眷属与依附者以同等份额。随后不纵逸、不懈怠，应亲自从事农耕。其伦理旨趣在于自立、均分与治家有序——以家之秩序为正法生活之根基。
