tri-vargaṁ nātikṛcchreṇa bhajeta gṛha-medhy api yathā-deśaṁ yathā-kālaṁ yāvad-daivopapāditam
Synonyms
tri-vargam — three principles, namely religiosity, economic development and sense gratification; na — not; ati-kṛcchreṇa — by very severe endeavor; bhajeta — should execute; gṛha-medhī — a person interested only in family life; api — although; yathā-deśam — according to the place; yathā-kālam — according to the time; yāvat — as much as; daiva — by the grace of the Lord; upapāditam — obtained.

Translation

Even if one is a householder rather than a brahmacārī, a sannyāsī or a vānaprastha, one should not endeavor very hard for religiosity, economic development or satisfaction of the senses. Even in householder life, one should be satisfied to maintain body and soul together with whatever is available with minimum endeavor, according to place and time, by the grace of the Lord. One should not engage oneself in ugra-karma.
