5.146.54

.. vyāsa uvāca .. .
kaṣṭaṃ vane nivasato'tra sadā narasya no kevalaṃ nijatanuprabhavaṃ bhavecca .
daivaṃ ca pitryamakhilaṃ na vibhāti kṛtyaṃ tasmādgṛhe nivasatātmahitaṃ pracintyam .. 54 ..

Vyāsa said: / Miserable is it for a man living constantly in the forest here, and not only does it spring from one's own body; / but the rites for the gods and all those for the ancestors do not shine forth; therefore, dwelling at home, one should reflect on the welfare of the self.
