na hi ācāravihīnasya sukham atra paratra vā
6. Madālasā said: A householder should always observe good conduct (dharma). For, there is no happiness for one devoid of good conduct (dharma), either in this world or the next.

bhavanti yaḥ sadācāram samullaṅghya pravartate

| kāryaḥ yatnaḥ sadācāre ācāraḥ hanti alakṣaṇam
8. Indeed, a person (puruṣa) of bad conduct does not attain a long life in this world. Therefore, effort should be made in good conduct (dharma), for good conduct (dharma) destroys inauspicious signs.

11. A person possessing a strong self (ātmanvat) should accumulate wealth (artha) for the next world (pāratrya) with one-quarter of their income. With half of their income, they should maintain themselves, including performing daily (nitya) and occasional (naimittika) duties.

evamācarataḥ putra arthaḥ sāphalyamarhati.
12. pādam ca ātma-artham āyasya mūlabhūtam vivardhayet
| evam ācarataḥ putra arthaḥ sāphalyam arhati
12. O son, the remaining quarter of one's income should be invested in the fundamental source of livelihood (mūlabhūta) for one's own benefit (ātman). For a person who conducts themselves in this way, wealth (artha) truly achieves its purpose.

paratrārtham tathā eva anyaḥ kāmyaḥ atra eva phalapradaḥ
13. Similarly, a wise person should perform their righteous actions (dharma) for the purpose of preventing sin. Likewise, another type of action, motivated by desire (kāmya karma) and yielding results in this very world, is also intended for the benefit of the afterlife.

14. pratyavāyabhayāt kāmyaḥ tathā anyaḥ ca avirodhavān
| dvidhā kāmaḥ api gaditaḥ trivargasya avirodhataḥ
14. Actions motivated by desire (kāmya karma) can arise from the fear of transgression, and another kind is that which is non-conflicting (with righteous conduct). Furthermore, desire (kāma) itself is declared to be of two types when it does not contradict the three human aims (dharma, artha, and kāma).

धर्मादींस्तान् शृणुष्व मे ॥१५॥

| ubhābhyām ca dvidhā kāmaḥ tena tau ca dvidhā punaḥ
16. Righteous conduct (dharma) is for the purpose of furthering righteous conduct, and righteous conduct does not obstruct one's own interest. Desire (kāma) is also of two kinds, determined by both (righteous conduct and worldly prosperity). Therefore, those two (dharma and artha) are also again of two kinds.

समुत्थाय तथाचम्य प्राङ्मुखो नियतः शुचिः ॥१७॥

101. Having performed the counter-clockwise (apasavya) ritual in the north-west direction, one should offer from the vessel, saying, 'O Yakṣma, this is for you.' Then, with the intention of dealing with the remaining food (annāvaśeṣa), one should offer water according to the prescribed rules.

yathā-vidhi yathā-nyāyam brāhmaṇāya upapādayet
102. Then, having set aside the choicest portion of food, intended as the "hantakāra" offering, one should present it to a brahmin in accordance with the prescribed rules and proper procedure.

devādīnām tathā kuryāt brāhmeṇa ācamanakriyām
103. One should perform the rituals (karma) using their own designated sacred hand-channels (tīrtha), according to the prescribed rules. Similarly, for the gods and others, one should perform the sipping of water (ācamana) using the "brāhma" hand-channel.
अङ्गुष्ठोत्तरतो रेखा पाणेर्या दक्षिणस्य तु ।
एतद् ब्राह्ममिति ख्यातं तीर्थमाचमनाय वै ॥१०४॥

etat brāhmam iti khyātam tīrtham ācamanāya vai
104. The channel (rekhā) which is located above the thumb of the right hand is indeed known as the "brāhma" sacred channel (tīrtha) for the purpose of sipping water (ācamana).
तर्जन्यङ्गुष्ठयोरन्तः पैत्र्यं तीर्थमुदाहृतम् ।
पितॄणां तेन तोयादि दद्यान्नान्दीमुखादृते ॥१०५॥

pitṝṇām tena toyādi dadyāt nāndīmukhāt ṛte
105. The sacred channel (tīrtha) that lies between the index finger and the thumb is declared to be the ancestral (paitrya) channel. By means of that, one should offer water and other things to the ancestors (pitṛ), except for the "nāndīmukha" ceremony.
अङ्गुल्यग्रे तथा दैवं तेन दिव्यक्रियाविधिः ।
तीर्थ कनिष्ठिकामूले कायं तेन प्रजापतेः ॥१०६॥
106. aṅgulyagre tathā daivaṃ tena divyakriyāvidhiḥ .
tīrtha kaniṣṭhikāmūle kāyaṃ tena prajāpateḥ.
106. aṅgulyagre tathā daivam tena divyakriyāvidhiḥ
tīrtha kaniṣṭhikāmūle kāyam tena prajāpateḥ
106. Similarly, the divine sacred spot (tīrtha) is at the tip of the fingers; by means of this, the procedure for divine rituals is to be performed. The sacred spot (tīrtha) for Prajāpati (prajāpateḥ) is at the base of the little finger; by means of this, the bodily (kāyaṃ) rites are performed.
एवमेभिः सदा तीर्थैर्देवानां पितृभिः सह ।
सदा कार्याणि कुर्वोत नान्यतीर्थेन कर्हिचित् ॥१०७॥
107. evamebhiḥ sadā tīrthairdevānāṃ pitṛbhiḥ saha .
sadā kāryāṇi kurvota nānyatīrthena karhicit.
107. evam ebhiḥ sadā tīrthaiḥ devānām pitṛbhiḥ saha
sadā kāryāṇi kurvota na anyatīrthena karhicit
107. Thus, one should always perform rites for the gods (devānām) along with those for the ancestors using these sacred spots (tīrtha). One should never perform them using any other sacred spot.
ब्राह्मेणाचमनं शस्तं पित्र्यं पैत्र्येण सर्वदा ।
देवतीर्थेन देवानां प्राजापत्यं निजेन च ॥१०८॥

108. brāhmeṇa ācamanam śastam pitryam paitryeṇa
sarvadā devatīrthena devānām prājāpatyam nijena ca
108. Ablution (ācamana) is prescribed with the sacred spot (tīrtha) of Brahmā (brāhmeṇa). Ancestral rites (pitryaṃ) are always performed with the ancestral sacred spot (paitryeṇa). Rites for the gods (devānām) are performed with the divine sacred spot (devatīrthena). And rites pertaining to Prajāpati (prājāpatyaṃ) are performed with its own (nijena) designated sacred spot.
नान्दीमुखानां कुर्वोत प्राज्ञः पिण्डोदकक्रियाम् ।
प्राजापत्येन तीर्थेन यच्च किञ्चित् प्रजापतेः ॥१०९॥

prājāpatyena tīrthena yat ca kiñcit prajāpateḥ
109. A wise person should perform the ritual of offering rice balls and water (piṇḍodakakriyām) for the Nāndīmukha ancestors. This, and whatever else pertains to Prajāpati (prajāpateḥ), should be done using the sacred spot (tīrtha) of Prajāpati (prājāpatyena).

110. yugapat jalam agnim ca bibhṛyāt na vicakṣaṇaḥ
gurudevān prati tathā na ca pādau prasārayet
110. A discerning person should not carry both water and fire at the same time. Similarly, one should not stretch out their feet towards gurus (guru) and deities.

शौचकालेषु सर्वेषु गुरुष्वल्पेषु वा पुनः ॥१११॥

pibet śaucakāleṣu sarveṣu guruṣu alpeṣu vā punaḥ
111. One should not gaze at a suckling cow, nor should one drink water with cupped hands. Furthermore, in all matters of purification, whether concerning elders (guru) or minor ones...
न विलम्बेत शौचार्थं न मुखेनानलं धमेत् ।
तत्र पुत्र न वस्तव्यं यत्र नास्ति चतुष्टयम् ॥११२॥
112. na vilambeta śaucārthaṃ na mukhenānalaṃ dhamet .
tatra putra na vastavyaṃ yatra nāsti catuṣṭayam.
112. na vilambeta śaucārtham na mukhena analam dhamet
tatra putra na vastavyam yatra na asti catuṣṭayam
112. One should not delay the act of purification. One should not blow on fire with one's mouth. O son, one should not dwell in a place where a group of four (things) is absent.
ऋणप्रदाता वैद्यश्च श्रोत्रियः सजला नदी ।
जितामित्रो नृपो यत्र बलवान् धर्मतत्परः ॥११३॥
113. ṛṇapradātā vaidyaśca śrotriyaḥ sajalā nadī .

113. ṛṇapradātā vaidyaḥ ca śrotriyaḥ sajālā nadī
jitāmitraḥ nṛpaḥ yatra balavān dharmatatparaḥ
113. The quartet (to be present in a good place) includes a lender of money, a physician, a Brahmin learned in the Vedas (śrotriya), and a river with water. Furthermore, (it should be a place) where there is a king who has conquered his enemies, who is powerful, and who is dedicated to righteousness (dharma).
तत्र नित्यं वसेत् प्राज्ञः कुतः कुनृपतौ सुखम् ।
यत्राप्रधृष्यो नृपतिर्यत्र शस्यवती मही ॥११४॥

114. tatra nityaṃ vaset prājñaḥ kutaḥ kunṛpatau sukham
| yatra apradhṛṣyaḥ nṛpatiḥ yatra śasyavatī mahī
114. A wise person should always reside in a place where the king is invincible and the land is fertile. From where can there be happiness with a bad king?
पौराः सुसंयता यत्र सततं न्यायवर्तिनः ।
यत्रामत्सरिणो लोकास्तत्र वासः सुखोदयः ॥११५॥
115. paurāḥ susaṃyatā yatra satataṃ nyāyavartinaḥ .

115. paurāḥ susaṃyatāḥ yatra satataṃ nyāyavartinaḥ |
yatra amatsariṇaḥ lokāḥ tatra vāsaḥ sukhodayaḥ
115. Residence brings about happiness in a place where the citizens are well-disciplined and constantly uphold justice, and where people are free from envy.

यत्रौषधन्यशेषाणि वसेत्तत्र विचक्षणः ॥११६॥

117. My son, one should not reside in a place where these three are always present: a ruler desirous of conquest, an old enemy, and people who are perpetually festive.

इत्येतत् कथितं पुत्र मया ते हितकाम्यया ॥११८॥
