“A householder who performs the domestic sacrifices must strive to accomplish the three-fold objects of life:[3] in full success therein lies the householder’s own success here and in the next world. With a quarter of his Wealth let him, master of himself, lay up a store for the next world; and with half let him support himself and perform the periodic śrāddhas; and treating a quarter as his capital, he should increase it, by exerting himself on his own account. Thus, my son, Wealth ought to he fruitful according to Virtuous custom. Similarly a wise man must practise Righteousness in order to withstand sin; and so also the third, Love, yields fruit here indeed on account of the next world. And the third, Love, is not impeded through fear of diminution. Love also is said to be two-fold from its not being opposed by this three-fold class. Let a man consider all these successive correlations.
