You are acquainted with all duties. Do you then duly practise the duties prescribed for you (viz., the duties of a householder.) A life of retirement in the forest forgetting the duties of a householder, has not been laid down for you.
स्वधर्मं चर धर्मज्ञ यथाशास्त्रं यथाविधि। न हि गार्हस्थयमुत्सृज्य तवारण्यं विधीयते॥
