The Householder who fails not towards these three would win the three regions, and rejoice in heaven, radiant in body, like a God.—(232)

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Who fails not’—who does not omit the servise; i.e., by serving these ‘he wins,’—makes his own, obtains mastery over—‘the three regions.’

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘The householder.’—It is when the son has reached the householder’s stage that his service becomes of great value to his parents and others; as by that time they become old.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Radiant.’—Shining, resplendent with his own effulgence. ‘Like a God,’—i.e., like the Sun.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Rejoices in heaven’—in the heavenly regions.—(232)
